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.
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.
