person who protects or supports

A person who speaks or acts to protect someone or something, such as a person, idea, or right.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] is a defender of [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "defender" with "defendant". A "defender" protects or supports something or someone, while a "defendant" is the person who is accused in a court case. Also, learners may say *"He is a defender for human rights"* instead of the more natural *"He is a defender of human rights"*.
ہم معنی الفاظ
protector (Focuses more on keeping someone or something safe, often physically, and slightly less on public argument or debate.) | champion (Stresses active and often public support, sometimes with a heroic or enthusiastic tone.) | advocate (Common in formal and legal contexts; highlights speaking or arguing in favor of something.)
متضاد الفاظ
opponent (Someone who is against an idea or person that the defender supports.) | critic (Someone who points out faults in the person, idea, or system that the defender is trying to protect.)

defensive player in a sport

A player in a sport who stays near their own goal and tries to stop the other team from scoring.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] plays as a defender for [a team]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"He plays in the defender"* instead of *"He plays as a defender"* or *"He is a defender"*. Another mistake is using "defender" when they mean the whole defensive group, as in *"Their defender is very strong"* when they mean *"Their defense is very strong"*.
ہم معنی الفاظ
defensive player (A more general term that can refer to any player whose main role is defense, not only in soccer or similar sports.) | back (Common in certain sports (especially soccer and American football) for players in defensive positions; more sport-specific and less general than "defender".)
متضاد الفاظ
attacker (A player whose main role is to create chances and score goals, opposite to a defender's job.) | striker (In soccer, the main goal-scoring player, positioned farthest forward from the team's own goal.)

lawyer for accused person

A lawyer who speaks in court for a person who is accused of a crime, often paid by the government.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] works as a defender for [someone/something]
عام غلطی:
Learners may confuse this meaning with the general sense of someone who protects an idea or person. In legal contexts, "defender" always refers to a lawyer, not to the accused person (who is the "defendant"). They also sometimes incorrectly say *"He is the defense"* when they mean *"He is the defender"* or *"defense attorney"*.
ہم معنی الفاظ
defense attorney (Standard legal term in American English; slightly more formal and specific than the shorter "defender".) | public defender (More specific; a defender paid by the government to represent people who cannot pay a private lawyer.)
متضاد الفاظ
prosecutor (The lawyer who argues that the accused person is guilty, opposite to the defender's role.)

person or force defending a place

A person or group that fights to keep a city, building, or area safe from an enemy.

استعمال کا انداز: [the defenders] of [a place]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse this with the sports sense and may say *"the defenders scored the city"* instead of *"the defenders defended the city"* or *"protected the city"*. Remember that a defender is a person; the verb is "defend".
ہم معنی الفاظ
guard (Focuses on watching and protecting a place, sometimes without active fighting.) | defending force (Emphasizes an organized military group rather than individual people.)
متضاد الفاظ
attacker (A general word for someone who tries to take or harm a place that defenders are protecting.) | invader (Someone, often part of an army, who enters a place by force, opposite to the defenders of that place.)
