There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

The best I could do was that "Ipsi" is latin for "self" (more or less) and "fendere" means "defense"... I don't know enough Latin to know if the "ous" is an appropriate use of the root, or to whom it's addressing.

So my honest opinion is that it is some specific kind of move in combat, relating to a defensive action.
