I always assumed that "defenestration" was one of those words like under/overwhelmed where it's only ever used with a prefix. Cool to see a book with a section on fenestration

An industry trade show is (or at least was) called "Fenestration".

If a 'rebuttal' is an "instance of rebutting evidence or an accusation" then 'butting' ought to be making the said accusation.

And it seems being 'whelmed' is already in common use, as a mediocre middle ground feeling between over and underwhelmed.
