The act of struggling against or resisting something; forceful effort against opposition.
From Latin 'eluctatio,' the noun form of 'eluctari' (to struggle out). The '-tion' suffix converts the verb into a noun describing the action itself.
Just like 'eluctate,' this word is nearly lost from English, but it survived in specialized writing about ancient Roman wrestling and in philosophical texts describing resistance to fate — it's a ghost of Latin's precision for describing struggle.
