Protect against attack (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

defend

'protect against attack' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for defend that I've seen before include "Protect - guard" , "Fortify" , "Protect, fight back" , "Block, as in cricket" , "Stand up for" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
