The 'Quora-spondence' linked through |those words| below--titled Worst. Defenestration. Ever.--and (other than the picture) it's just the text "(Too soon?)" (all beneath the credits).
But |those words| seems important; so I found out a little more about |those words| and share my findings with you below---maybe I'll add some notes beneath (and/or you might start/continue the discussion in the comments).

The word |Defenestration| is obviously the prefix |De- on the word #Fenestration. The word |Fenestration| evolved to its current meaning through ancient words that mean "Window, Opening for Light" (from an Etruscan source that's also related to words that mean "the Carved Stern of a Ship with its Ornaments, the Plant Broom, Trainer of Gladiators).

A word invented for one incident: the "Defenestration of Prague," May 21, 1618, when two Catholic deputies to the Bohemian national assembly and a secretary were tossed out the window of the castle of Hradschin by Protestant radicals (the pair landed in a trash heap and survived). It marked the start of the Thirty Years' War.
The word |Deforestation| is the prefix |De- on the word #Forest. The word |Forest| sits at the peak of the high tower above ancient words that mean "Outside (Beyond the 'Park' (Main- or Central Fenced Woodland) ... see Foreign)."
