The verb "to defend" has several forms :

DEFENSE / DEFENSES (noun, but sometimes used as a verb) - protection against an attack

DEFENDED (adjective) - protected against attack

DEFENSIVE (adjective) - done in defense (e.g. a defensive strategy)

* In competitive games, the past tense defensed means defended.
