[DVBC] BONKERS -- Where did the word come from?

[Christine Martha]

Any etymologists out there?    I made fun of the term "bonkers" from the old slang expression "Go Bonkers!" years ago.   
   
  However, there's a street near me named Boncoeur Road.  Of course bons coeurs is French for "good hearts"  and for bicycling -- good legs, good lungs, and good backsides!
   
  So what is the origin of the term "bonkers?"
