Google Translate gives me 'Fandevu'. I guess that's a bit different with 'fente's pronunciation.
Technically, 'fente' is to relax your leg that is in the back and pull the knee of your front leg towards the opponent, with your leg. At the same time, your attack with your weapon by extending your arm. The leg in the back doesn't move though. Got into the fencing tryout when I was a freshman.
