Not really an odd one out, since sanitarium originally referred to placed dealing with long term illnesses (like tuberculosis), which is closer in meaning to sanity than the other two.

Anyway, the why is Latin stuff. They have a common root, sanus, which means healthy or sound (as in "sound of mind").

While you're at the dictionary, find out when terrific diverged from terror and terrible, and awful from awe and awesome.

Vsauce is like Bill Nye for adults, it's accessible and an easy way to be both entertained and educated. No one said it was the height of academic learning.
