Protect from harm (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

defend

shield

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">protect from harm</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for defend that I've seen before include "Fortify" , "Protect, fight back" , "Shield" , "Protect against challenge or attack" , "Stand up for" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Independent.
