This "Defensio, Defensionis" means: defense/protection; act of defending; argument/justification in defense, excuse legal maintenance of a right; legal prosecution, punishment;

Bold for the meaning one imagines you are aiming for.

By Latin is not great ( < 1st year), but after consulting my three paper dictionaries, and one digital one, the above is my best try.
Works for me, thank you. And should it all come together, I'll let ya'll know why I asked.
