Not able to be justified, supported, or protected from criticism or attack.
From Latin 'in-' (not) and 'defendere' (to defend), via Old French and Middle English. It literally means 'not capable of being defended'.
When something is indefensible, you can’t honestly stand in front of it and shield it from attack. The word is often used for actions or ideas that fail even basic moral or logical tests.
