Definition
Present participle of combat; currently fighting against or struggling with something.
Etymology
From 'combat' with the progressive suffix '-ing' added, with the double 't' (British style) following the consonant-doubling rule for stressed single-syllable verbs.
Kelly Says
The spelling 'combatting' versus 'combating' (American) shows how even native English speakers disagree on doubling rules — it's become more flexible in modern usage, especially as Americans influence global English.
