As best I recall -- it's been many a year -- from when I took two years of
German as my foreign language requirement in college, "Fenster" is German for
window, so "defensteration" is sort of a basterdization of the English
language. But, hell, we borrowed about half of it from other folks, which may
account for why it's got over 600,000 words and still growing.
