Definition
Being in active opposition or disagreement; incompatible or contradictory in a way that creates tension or problems. Suggests not just difference but active clash or struggle between opposing forces.
Etymology
From Latin 'conflictus,' past participle of 'confligere' meaning 'to strike together, clash.' The prefix 'con-' (together) with 'fligere' (to strike) creates an image of things striking against each other in opposition.
Kelly Says
The word literally means 'striking together' - imagine two opposing forces colliding! That's why conflicting ideas don't just disagree; they actively clash and create tension.
