Sounds fancy. I threw a window out of a car and it was just called littering.

I want to be part of the culture that made a word specifically to describe the formal act of throwing someone out of the window.
Reject modernity. Embrace defenestration. |

 Luckily revolvers don't usually get allergies though, so you don't need any Allegra for their sinuses. |

A fun word kinda-rhyming to defenestration is exsanguination.
Quote HistoryQuoted: antidisestablishmentarianism Random fun fact, Filipino being a language easy to make compound words, the longest officially noted is Pinakanakapagpapabagabagdamdamin which means vaguely "something which causes annoyance or frustration", though to be fair no one would really say that in a normal circumstance. |

I belive german is similar as a compounding language. "tank" originally was "carriage with treads not wheels and armor and a gun that has a self propelling motor " which SUCKED for using a radio, so they shortened it to "panzer. Also their word for automotive insurance is insane, " Kraftfahrzeughaftpflichtversicherung " or " auto wagon liability traffic protection ". |

First heard it in the 80's. Steve Jackson games published 'Killer', a set of rules for an 'assassination' game using dart guns, etc. One of the methods of killing your target was defenestration. Two or more players had to be in a room with the victim, with a window and above the third floor. The killers declared their intent to throw the victim out the window, and said victim was considered killed by defenstration.

Geologists also call the feature labeled "window" in the diagram a fenster. Like the klippe, only in reverse.

I always found it interesting that "window" is fenestra in Latin and fenster in German. Do they have a common root (which would be unusual for Latin & German words)? Or were the Krauts such savages that they didn't have windows before the Romans showed up, or perhaps didn't have a word for them?

One of my all time favorite words. It's so specific, nothing else, just getting thrown out of a window.
