How to use "Fend" in context?
1. fending off is the act of defending oneself or someone else from an attacking or threatening action. This can be done physically by hitting or wrestling the attacker, or using any other form of self-defence.
2. The word fend is derived from the Old English word fenge, meaning a password or a challenge to another person's honour. In medieval England, any person who refused to defend himself or others with physical force was said to be 'feeble in the face of danger'.
3. Fending off can also refer to preventing something undesirable from happening.
