What does BATTLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sustained fight between opposing armed forces, or by extension any hard, prolonged struggle to achieve or resist something.
A battle is usually shorter and more contained than a war, a single clash or a linked series of clashes fought over a particular place or objective, such as the Battle of Hastings or the Battle of the Somme. Beyond the battlefield, English freely extends the word to any demanding contest of will or effort, so people speak of a battle against illness, a legal battle over a will, or a battle to meet a deadline. The word also works as a verb, as in armies that battle for a city or activists who battle for a cause.
