I believe that the origin of the word "demonstration" comes from the industrial revolution. When the mill owners installed steam engines, the workforce were often terrified of these and thought that they were fire breathing monsters. The mill owners staged de-monster-ations of the steam engines to all the fearful employees and the word was born.
