I was thinking about this just the other day, the term "demented" literally means "with mind removed".

Actually it means "out of one's mind"
Huh. So it does, thanks for that!

...as a tangent, I'm impressed and slightly weirded out by the fact that I googled for "etymology demented" and it answered directly with an etymological tree for the word. Google's getting smarter.
