What does defenestrated mean?

Answer 1

The word comes from Latin and it literally means "to throw someone or something out of a window". That of course causes great damage. The words "defenestrate" (verb) and "defenestration" (noun) are also used to refer to a usually swift dismissal or expulsion (as from a political party or office.)

'Defenestrate' means to throw something out of a window and 'defenestration' means the act of throwing someone or something out of a window.
