Etymology

The word 'defend' originates from the Latin term 'defendere', which means 'to ward off' or 'to repel'. This Latin term is a combination of the prefix 'de-' meaning 'off' and 'fendere' which translates to 'to strike or hit'. The practice of defending has been vital throughout human history, particularly in contexts of warfare, property rights, and personal safety. As societies grew and evolved, the meaning of the word expanded to encompass not only physical defense but also legal and emotional realms. Although the term 'defenced' is less commonly used today than its base form 'defend', it reflects an essential action that people have taken throughout the ages to protect themselves and their interests.
