How can an arrow function receive a parameter as an object which has both properties and default parameters?

Can someone help me understand the following code?

const doit = ({
    left: Left,
    right: Right,
    leftWeight = 1,
    rightWeight = 1
}) => {
    console.log(Left, Right, leftWeight, rightWeight);
};

doit({ left: '111', leftWeight: 2});

It seems to be two ways to pass default parameters, and destructuring assignment is involved somehow but how can I break this down to understand it?

Addendum 1

Ok, it seems as though this is not an issue of default parameters and arrow functions but simply object destructuring:

const { left: Left, right: Right, leftWeight = 1, rightWeight = 1 } = { left: "111", leftWeight: 2 };
console.log(Left, Right, leftWeight, rightWeight);

Addendum 2

This code gives the same result:

const { Left, Right, leftWeight = 1, rightWeight = 1 } = { Left: "111", leftWeight: 2 };
console.log(Left, Right, leftWeight, rightWeight);

Object destructuring apparently has the option to rename the variables:
