From duo- (Latin 'two') + -machy (from Greek mache meaning 'battle' or 'fighting'). The term is rare and largely historical, appearing in classical literature to describe duels and contests.
The word 'duomachy' belongs to a whole family of fighting words—like theomachy (war against gods) or psychomachy (battle within the soul)—showing how -machy can describe struggles at any scale.
