Good question. I am glad you asked in this forum where people can write intelligent answers instead of just cutting and pasting from Wikipedia. Don't you just hate that? I know I do.
The word derives from several root words:
Fundament: the part of the body upon which you sit, your rear or bottom
Mental: of or pertaining to your head
List: to sway to one side, as a boat which is overloaded on the port or starboard side tends to lean.
So when put together we have someone whose head is put up their bottom and tends to lean strictly to one side of a question and of course cannot see any other side.
There, aren't you glad you asked?
Glad to be of service.
