+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|cōnflīgō|-tō|t1=to strike together, clash]], a frequentative.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(TLL) That verb is [[m|la|con-]] with [[m|la|flīgō|t=to strike]], which de Vaan traces to [[itc-pro|*flīg-]] and [[ine-pro|*bhleiǵ-e/o-|t=to hit, crush]] or [[ine-pro|*bhliH-ǵ-e/o-]], comparing [[grc|φλίβω|tr=phlíbō|t=to rub, crush]].^(Wiktionary)^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The TLL finds it from Terence on,^(TLL) who has someone who struggles with characters of that kind.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is used both as an active verb and as a deponent ''cōnflīctor''.^(TLL)^(OLD 2012) Actively it is to strike repeatedly, buffet, as Tacitus' men battered by heavy blows from above.^(OLD 2012) More often in the passive it is to be harassed, distressed or tormented: the ''Rhetorica ad Herennium'' has men tormented by many great troubles.^(OLD 2012) As a deponent it is to contend or struggle: Cicero asks whether someone would rather struggle in a more honourable trial, and Nepos has a man struggle with adverse fortune.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Church Latin glosses it contend, struggle with.^(Stelten 1995)
