Definition
Present participle of 'duel': the act of engaging in a formal combat or competition between two people.
Etymology
From 'duel' plus the present participle suffix '-ing' (Old English '-ing'). This is the British English spelling, maintaining the doubled 'l' from 'duel' before the suffix.
Kelly Says
British English doubles the 'l' in 'duelling,' while American English uses 'dueling'—but both refer to the same historical practice. The spelling difference reflects how the same word diverged into regional variants after American English became independent.
