Defenestration is my new favourite word. It means, literally, to throw something or someone out of a window. De means 'from', whilst Fenestra is latin for 'window'.
So, by logical extention, Deportation must be to throw someone through a door, whilst Deforestation must mean to throw someone out of a tree.
Presumably, Decontamination is when Idi Amin's wife gives birth.
