This comes from nowhere in particular except the dark recesses of my mind.  Way back in my college days, my super-awesome friend Kara had a homemade sign in her dorm room that said:

Defenestration – the act by which the defenstrator defenstrates the defenstratee

which, of course, told you nothing about what the word means.  But I was always taken with the sign, especially after looking up defenestration and finding out what it actually means.

Now go out and put your new word to use (but not necessarily commit defenestration).
