'combats?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to competing as well as being verbs in their -s form.

'just so' is the wordplay.
'just so' anagrams to 'JOUSTS'.
Though, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for jousts that I've seen is " contests on horseback".)
