OriginMid 16th century: from Latin insanus, from in- 'not' + sanus 'healthy'. sanity from Late Middle English: Latin sanus meant ‘healthy’ which is the first recorded sense of sanity in English. Current meanings date from the early 17th century when sane was first recorded, although insane dates from the mid 16th century. Sanitary, sanitation, and sanatorium where you go to recover your health, all 19th century, come from the same root.
