- To defend oneself — To defend oneself; to directly sustain one's own interests, rights, innocence, or point of view before a court of law, an authority, or accusations brought by others, without necessarily relying on the assistance of a lawyer or legal representative; also, to physically protect oneself against an aggression or external attack through one's own efforts.
- Self-defense — The act of defending oneself or its result; a set of measures, physical techniques, tactics, or legal arguments used by a person to protect their life, bodily integrity, rights, or dignity against an attack, aggression, or unfounded external accusations; self-defense.
- Self-defended — Having defended oneself or through one's own efforts, physically or legally; said of an accused person who argued their cause in court without the assistance of a lawyer or of a person who successfully protected themselves against an aggression.
- Self-protection — The act of protecting oneself and its result; a set of measures, techniques, devices, or behavioral strategies that an individual, community, or technical system independently implements to ensure physical, legal, cyber, or emotional integrity against threats. In labor legislation and industrial safety, it defines individual structural protocols applied by operators to prevent accidents in high-risk working environments.
- Self-protective — Protecting or having the property to protect oneself against aggressions, risks, errors, or harmful external environmental factors; a system, mechanism, or behavior structurally configured for autonomous self-defense. In psychology, it describes a dysfunctional or adaptive mental screen or barrier utilized by the ego to block emotional distress, whereas in technology it denotes materials or circuits capable of automatic isolation during overload or failure.
- To self-protect — To protect oneself against dangers, risks, aggressions, or harmful external environmental factors; to act consciously or automatically to ensure one's own physical, emotional, legal, or digital integrity. In computer science, it describes the action of advanced software running self-isolation protocols upon detecting a cyber attack, whereas in psychology it reflects applying mental barriers to preserve psychic balance.
- Self-protection — The act of self-protecting and its result; a structural, behavioral, or technical process through which an individual, group, or system activates its own resources to prevent degradation, injury, or compromise faced with external risk factors. In stress management, it defines adopting healthy habits to conserve mental energy, whereas in software engineering it represents automated algorithmic resilience capacity.
- Self-protected — Having protected oneself or having been secured against risks, errors, aggressions, or harmful factors through its own internal, autonomous means or mechanisms; a software system, electronic circuit, or individual in a state of structural safety achieved without direct external intervention. In computer science, it describes adaptive code or cyber infrastructure secured through automated self-isolation protocols, whereas in psychology it reflects the state of a subject who has established clear emotional boundaries to preserve psychic balance.
- Autotomy — A reflex biological self-defense mechanism found in certain animals (such as lizards, crayfish, or insects), consisting of the spontaneous amputation or detachment of a body segment or limb caught or attacked by a predator. This structural reflex phenomenon distracts the aggressor and allows the animal to escape, with the lost limb being subsequently partially or fully regenerated through autonomous cell division.
- Administrative self-redress — The power or recognized right of a person or a public authority to protect, preserve, or restore through their own means their legal interests or administrative decisions, without preventatively resorting to court intervention; the principle by which the administration can revoke or modify its own illegal or inopportune acts.
