> Defenestration

The act of throwing out of a window. Early 17th century from modern Latin defenestratio(n-), from de- ‘down from’ + Latin fenestra ‘window’.

always reminds me of one of my favorite plants, the succulent fenestraria, that basically has a super cool adaptation to survive in dry spells by using leaves that are basically fiber optic cables to deliver light to chloroplasts underground.
