That's what you get, when you don't use a real English Dictionary.

Concise Oxford Dictionary (8th Edition, 1990):
defenestration - the act of thowing out of a window. 
defenestrate - v.tr. (in other words, the verb transitive (transition out the
window ? ;) ) form of defenestration

perhaps that is what should be done with these fake dictionaries...
