L. battalia, battualia, the       fighting and fencing exercises of soldiers and gladiators,       fr. batuere to strike, beat. Cf. {Battalia}, 1st {Battel},       and see {Batter}, v. t. ]       1. A general action, fight, or encounter, in which all the             divisions of an army are or may be engaged; an engagement;             a combat.          2. A struggle; a contest; as, the battle of life.                         The whole intellectual battle that had at its center                      the best poem of the best poet of that day. --H.                                                                               Morley.          3. A division of an army; a battalion. [Obs.]                         The king divided his army into three battles.                                                                               --Bacon.                         The cavalry, by way of distinction, was called the                      battle, and on it alone depended the fate of every                      action.                                             --Robertson.          4. The main body, as distinct from the van and rear;             battalia. [Obs.] --Hayward.          Note: Battle is used adjectively or as the first part of a                self-explaining compound; as, battle brand, a                [bd]brand[b8] or sword used in battle; battle cry;                battlefield; battle ground; battlearray; battle song.          {Battle piece}, a painting, or a musical composition,             representing a battle.          {Battle royal}.             (a) A fight between several gamecocks, where the one that                   stands longest is the victor. --Grose.             (b) A contest with fists or cudgels in which more than two                   are engaged; a m[88]l[82]e. --Thackeray.          {Drawn battle}, one in which neither party gains the victory.                      {To give battle}, to attack an enemy.          {To join battle}, to meet the attack; to engage in battle.          {Pitched battle}, one in which the armies are previously             drawn up in form, with a regular disposition of the             forces.          {Wager of battle}. See under {Wager}, n.          Syn: Conflict; encounter; contest; action.          Usage: {Battle}, {Combat}, {Fight}, {Engagement}. These words                   agree in denoting a close encounter between contending                   parties. Fight is a word of less dignity than the                   others. Except in poetry, it is more naturally applied                   to the encounter of a few individuals, and more                   commonly an accidental one; as, a street fight. A                   combat is a close encounter, whether between few or                   many, and is usually premeditated. A battle is                   commonly more general and prolonged. An engagement                   supposes large numbers on each side, engaged or                   intermingled in the conflict.
