I take it to be a derivative of Latin mens, "mind" (as in Mensa, or  
"mens sana in corpore sano"), and like you I guess a couple of l's to  
have gotten lost at the end (what are a few consants among fiends?),  
so it's "unmensefull" which would either "without being concerned" or  
"thoughtlessly" . . . This isn't getting me very far, is it. I think  
I'll go out and starts shoveling the snow.
