the art of disagreeing so violently that history takes notes.
means Combat is armed fighting or struggle between opposing forces, especially in war.
from From French combat, born of the verb combattre — itself Latin com- 'with, together' plus battuere 'to beat or strike.' So at heart it means a 'beating-against,' two sides hammering at each other. That battuere is also the quiet ancestor of 'battle,' 'batter,' and 'combatant' — a whole family tree grown from the simple act of hitting something hard.
