A medieval jousting contest between two armored knights on horseback, with a barrier separating them.
From Spanish and Latin 'iustus' meaning just or fair. The word referred to formal contests that were supposed to be conducted fairly according to strict rules.
Jousts were so regulated that referees with detailed rulebooks stood by to stop fights—the sport was basically the medieval equivalent of professional wrestling, with honor codes instead of scripts!
