My first reaction is that there is no such thing as "defensive aggression". That they are opposites. But then again, if the former term provides context for the latter I might see what it means in practice and I don't really have a better term at this point. I would probably have preferred no extra combination term be used in the first place however. That instead of creating new words, the existing ones were better ordered by definition to communicate the same thing as clear or clearer without added risk of confusions later down the line.

Interesting thoughts.
The reason I chose to go with a definition where "aggression" is qualified by "defensive" is because defending yourself or your property from aggression appears to be straight up aggression out of context. So the definition is biased (in a good way I hope) towards a legal process perspective where proof and argumentation are required to establish facts from claims.
