deranged

English

Etymology

From French dérangé.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /dɪˈɹeɪndʒd/

Adjective

deranged (comparative more deranged, superlative most deranged)

1. Disturbed or upset, especially mentally.
   • July 18 2012, Scott Tobias, AV Club The Dark Knight Rises[1]

     Though Bane’s sing-song voice gives his pronouncements a funny lilt, he doesn’t have any of the Joker’s deranged wit, and Nolan isn’t interested in undercutting his seriousness for the sake of a breezier entertainment.

2. Insane.
   • 2020 November 13, Duncan Campbell, “Peter Sutcliffe obituary”, in The Guardian‎^[2]:

     When he was finally arrested, Sutcliffe hoped that by claiming to be deranged he would be convicted of manslaughter rather than murder, and therefore sent to hospital and perhaps released after 10 years.
