defenestration
is a good word. Cant believe there is a specific word for something so uncommon as being thrown through a window...

they loved their defenestrations there
it's one of those words that must've been introduced in order to stop a profession losing its credibility. i imagine a bunch of historians sitting around going "look, we can't go on calling it 'the prague thing where they threw everyone out of the window,' people will think we're idiots"
see also mathematicians and the word "cardioid." it's "heart-shaped" you nerds!

somewhat illogically
fenestration is the arrangement of windows in a building... and not throwing something into a window...

hey I get to dig out one of my exciting trufax
as a linguist the following interests me, though may not interest others.
Most German words come from a different root to English ones. We get many of ours from Latin.
However, the word 'Window' is completely different to the Latin word 'finestra' - which is where the French get their word 'fenĂȘtre'. But the German word is 'Fenster' - one of the few they get from Latin.
In my warped and miserable world, this is an exciting Trufax.
You may now continue as you were.
