A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, the word “defend” refers to the act of responding to a legal claim or accusation made against oneself or another party by presenting arguments, evidence, or legal defenses in order to protect one’s rights or interests in a court of law. It involves advocating for oneself or another party in a legal proceeding to counter the allegations or claims made by the opposing party.
