E-mails about a word for getting thrown under the bus:

–Rich,
Never thought about Latinizing “to throw one under a bus,” but now that it’s out there it must be done. There are a lot of possibilities, but perhaps the most mellifluous one I can think up is subraedation, from sub (under) and raeda, the generic word for a Roman coach. Subclabulation (from clabularis) would also work, but that’s clunkier than, well, a Roman coach. I’m missing the wonderful connotation of throwing, key to the English phrase. So perhaps subraedjection is a better translation. Almost pronounceable, too!
–Plaustrum is a wagon, including of the sort used to transport numbers of people or troops. So a reasonable Latin-root term, comparable to defenestration, would be ’supplaustration’.
I think we need a Czar of Supplaustration.
–Subcarration. From Latin sub, under, and carrum, cart or wagon. An analogous coinage to subjugation.
Don’t bother Googling it. It’s my own coinage.
–I’m just catching up on the last two days’ activities on NRO, and saw the wonderful international symbol for throwing someone under the bus that one of your readers created. But he said there is no word for the act like defenestration. This is the English language. If there isn’t a word, we create one. So, would it be “subomnibusation?”
–A coinage suggestion: subrotilocation
–Regarding your Corner post on defenestration — there is indeed a clever and widely-adopted term for throwing somebody under the bus: hypovehiculation.
I can’t recall where I saw it first, perhaps James Taranto’s Best of the Web column. http://s.wsj.net/article/SB123687684249509399.html
–If my Latin word root knowledge serves, I humbly offer “subjactation” and the victim could be called “subjacted” It technically omits the actual bus component, but suffices to mean “thrown under”
–Subaurigification? (Used the Latin auriga – “chariot” – because the Romans didn’t have buses.)
–Ensubbustrate – figuratively throw one under a bus.
–Mr. Lowry,
I, too, like to use the term “defenestration” at times (along with “autodefenestration,” or the act of throwing oneself out of a window). So I was pondering how to cobble together a term to mean “thrown under a bus.” Anyway, I had an old first year Latin book lying around, and put together carrus for cart, sub for under, and iactum for thrown. So I put it all together and came up with “subcarrujected” for “being thrown under a bus.” I guess “autosubcarrujection would be the act of throwing oneself under a bus, something that may happen with regularity in the current Administration’s future. Do any of your linguistic experts concur or can they provide any improvements?
