Fight, strive against (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

combat

I believe this is a double definition.

'fight' is the first definition.
(I know that combat is a type of fight)

'strive against' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for combat that I've seen before include "Armed fighting" , "Fight, struggle or contest" , "Oppose" , "Fight - strive against" , "A fight or contest, sometimes mortal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
