New demand put out of one's mind (6)

I believe the answer is:

madden

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'out of one's mind' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'new demand' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'demand' is an anagram of 'MADDEN'.

'put' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
