辩解 (biàn jiě) — to defend oneself; to justify (one's actions or point of view)
Definition
辩解 is to defend or justify oneself after being blamed or questioned — often with a hint that the defense is weak or unconvincing. Unlike 辩护 (defending someone/something in argument or court), 辩解 focuses on excusing one's own actions.
