Someone else further down even pointed out that it was actually the British that strapped people to cannon muzzles to execute them, not the DPRK

No he’s right. The North Korean official got executed via anti aircraft gun, then Kim Jong Un was so sadistic that he brought the Juche Warlocks from deep inside the Pyongyang laboratories to resurrect him so he can continue torturing and executing him. It’s truly horrific. It’s basically the dark arts equivalent of using morphine and adrenaline to keep a victim alive

This kinda reminds me of Mughal emperor Akbar, who got so mad at one of his generals that he defenestrated him, and when the general survived he ordered to bring him back up and defenestrate him again.

defenestrate

verb: to throw (someone) out of a window

Why is there a word for this

How often does this happen that they needed to coin a word for it

Because throwing out catholic officials from the window of castle of Prague in 1618 was the opening act of the Thirty Years War which was a fuckhuge issue so the term was coined using the contemporary version of Latin which was still commonly used back then for official reasons.

How often does this happen that they needed to coin a word for it

It was third time it happened to officials in Prague. Though to be fair high profile cases are pretty rare historically, usually people are executed or lynched in other methods. Wiki lists 30 notable cases between IX century BCE and 2022, of which half is either unconfirmed or obvious bullshit.
