Why is it oddly specific? "Fenestre" is window in latin languages, "de-" prefix is negation. Microsoft Windows is "Micro-mollis Fenestrae" in latin, but there is a even a latin language article about it on wikipedia: https://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows

At the time of writing, these definitions do seem to be in there.
