dementia/dɪménʃ(i)ə/を取り上げます。LDOCEには“an illness that affects the brain and memory, and makes you gradually lose the ability to think and behave normally”とあり、『ジーニアス英和大辞典』には「(脳病・脳損傷による)痴呆」とありました。
続いてODEで語源を調べてみると、“late 18th cent. : from Latin, from demens, dement- ‘out of one’s mind’.”と定義されていました。(Otoyo)
