Definition: Serving, or suitable, for defense; defensive, defending.
Alright class, settle in, let’s take a look,
At a word that pops up, a legal hook!
“Defendant” – it’s a term you might see,
Especially when courts are busy and free.
The dictionary's right, it’s true,
It means "serving for defense," just for you!
Think of it this way, clear as can be,
Someone
accused
is the defendant, you agree?
They’re the one on trial, facing a plea,
To prove they're innocent – that's their decree.
So “defensive” and "defending" are key parts,
Showing they stand up and fight with hearts!
Does anyone have questions for me? Don’t be shy,
Let’s make sure this concept clicks, way up high!
