A word I love is "defenestrate". Dutch or Afrikaans speakers might be able to guess the meaning from it's similarity to the word "venster", which means "window".

Words to learn: Recalcitrant
That sounds like an awesome word, @monkeyharris. Are you going to write a "Words to learn" post and share the definition and some examples of how to use it? :-)

Sorry for the late reply. That's not really my thing :) An example could be: The teacher picked up the unruly student, opened the window, and defenestrated him into the thorny bush outside.

No worries! I will add the word to my collection of words to learn, and credit you with the suggestion and example when I write the post. Thank you!
