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 .
