old man emu Posted Tuesday at 11:15 AM Posted Tuesday at 11:15 AM Defenestration is the word which describes one particular historical event. In Prague on May 21, 1618, two Catholic deputies to the Bohemian national assembly and a secretary were tossed out the window of the castle of Hradschin by Protestant radicals. Clearly that was a case of these blokes getting the sack, and being informed of it by being thrown out of a window. https://www.britannica.com/event/Defenestration-of-Prague-1618 Its later use is similar to the way we use "Waterloo" to mean a defeat, as in "He met his Waterloo."
