Do you know that word before? #english #language #words
In my country, many politicians have been defenestrated for corruption.
Basically, it is taken from Latin in 16th century and then used in some newspapers and official letters. Fenestra means window.
My mother tongue is Spanish and sure it's very close and easy to get.
Yep, you told me about it, you are from Cuba.
Interesting, i have never seen this wird before. Didn't know throwing someone out of the window is represented by this word.
It is actually a borrowed word from Latin fenestra means window. First used in 16th century.
Ahh thanks for sharing the insights!
My pleasure.
It's very common in Spanish.
I would like that to be common in Cuba.
