I have to admit, I have used the word defenestration on occasion, assuming that I had divined the meaning of the word from it’s use, but last night, I looked it up for the first time...it says:
********************************

defenestration noun
de·​fen·​es·​tra·​tion | \ (ˌ)dē-ˌfe-nə-ˈstrā-shən

Definition of defenestration
1: a throwing of a person or thing out of a window
assassination by defenestration

2: a usually swift dismissal or expulsion (as from a political party or office)
the defenestration of political leaders
the mass defenestration of middle management

********************************

Now, I must say...I found that most interesting, given how I had been using it. I was absolutely correct in my usage over time, but...it added a whole new dimension to my usage!

For the opposite, the definition of Fenestration is filling a hole in a wall, usually by installing a window.

Use in a sentence.

Example: We need a defenestration of the RINOs in the Republican Party.
