I'll always be there. Watching. Waiting.
Of Paper and Ponies (and Science!)
An adventurous scientist stuck in a stagnant world. With paper! And sometimes ponies!
FENESTRA
[noun]
1. Architecture: a window-like opening; a small window.

3. Anatomy, Zoology: a small opening or perforation, as in a bone, especially between the middle and inner ear.
Oh.
Fenestra.
Defenestration.
If “fenestra” is considered of Latin origin (after Etrucian suffix -stra), why is “defenestration” called Czech in this dictionary?
Oh, of course I know about the Thirty Years War and the Hussite War and the Defenestrations of Prague (hell, I even visited the site of the 1618 defenestrations from the Prague Castle), but the etymology is completely Latin. De- is Latin, fenestra is Latin…screw this dictionary. I still stand by my position that the only Czech word in the English language is “robot”.
