Defenestration

The act of throwing someone out of a window. It was repurposed for discussion among intellectual circles to refer to cases in history in which a leader or influential individual was forcefully deposed from power and replaced by the person who deposed them. Originally repurposed due to the creation of the French First Republic, when many Jacobin loyalists (radical anti-monarchists) threw sympathisers of constitutional monarchy (moderate revolutionary) out of windows to fill their representative seats with other Jacobin loyalists.
