DEFENESTRATE:

Defenestrate comes from Latin de-, out of + fenestra, window.

Defenestration is the noun form of the word. It is also a computing jargon term for "the act of exiting a window system in order to get better response time from a full-screen program" or "the act of discarding something under the assumption that it will improve matters" or "the act of dragging something out of a window (onto the screen)" (source: Jargon File).
