N: 1. Plural of noun “conflict”. Early 15c., “armed encounter, battle,” from Old French conflit and directly from Latin conflictus “a striking together,” in Late Latin “a fight, conflict,” noun use of past participle of confligere “to strike together, be in conflict,” from assimilated form of com “with, together” + fligere “to strike”.
2. We define conflict as a disagreement through which the parties involved perceive a threat to their needs, interests or concerns.
