Definition
Capable of being defended or that can serve a defensive purpose in military or fortification contexts.
Etymology
From Old French 'fendre' (to defend, split) combined with the suffix '-ible' (capable of being). Originally meant 'capable of being defended,' used in 16th-17th century military terminology for fortifications and defensive positions.
Kelly Says
In medieval times, a 'fencible' location meant it could actually be held against attack—nowadays we'd call it 'defensible,' showing how the military term gradually faded into history.
