Ooh, ooh, what does this mean? I suppose "monocle" and "classified" have now been cancelled until we find someone who knows "défilade" to the OP's satisfaction. I, myself, have exhausted my paltry vocabulary resources. Texas2SS has done the same, I believe. We therefore await another as yet unnamed party to supply the coup de grâce.
To all of you vocabulary he-men and she-ladies out there on our fun forum, "Help!" we are drowning in our own self-indulgence.
I AM wiling to give it yet another try, though my tap tap tapping, as would a blind man with his cane, through the vagaries of my mind are tenuous at best, pitiable and infantile as we proceed.
Let's see: the prefix "Dé" indicates an undoing here, I believe. The "filade" is connected to a wending of paths. Perhaps by infantry, armored brigades, an airborne assault with multiple craft: gliders (à la WW II)
parachute landings, helicopters and their like. Could your word have to do with a mission cancelled, or re-routed, or even redirected along a different trajectory?
