A medieval combat between two mounted knights who charge at each other with lances, either as sport or to settle a dispute.
Where the word comes from
From Old French "joster," meaning to thrust or push against, likely from a Frankish root related to "joust" as a mock combat between knights.

It entered Middle English as "justen" or "jousten," eventually settling into its modern form with the sense of competing in combat or engaging in spirited debate.
