Quotes
And then there is James McMurtry, an alt-country ironist who is probably ready to defenestrate the next well-meaning lunkhead who points out that his father, Larry, wrote "Lonesome Dove."

Origin
Defenestrate is a backformation of the noun defenestration, which entered the lexicon around 1618, when Bohemian insurgents in Prague threw two imperial regents and their secretary out of the windows of Hradčany (Prague Castle); this event is known as the Defenestration of Prague. Both of these terms derive from the Latin fenestra meaning "window."
