Picture two people who have got hold of each other and will not let go. Each one pulls, the other pulls back, and neither of them is throwing punches. Arms, elbows, a bit of shoving, and the whole thing is over in half a minute. Often there is one object in the middle — a ball, a bag, a cushion — and both pairs of hands are on it. That is a tussle: close, , energetic, and usually not serious. The word works as a verb for the action and as a noun for the scene, and everything else it means keeps that picture of two sides pulling at one thing.
From the word’s history
The source entry says only that tussle is related to tousle, the word for rumpling someone's hair. That is a link between words, not a full history, so read it as a memory hook: tousle leaves hair in a mess, tussle leaves two people in one.
來源條目只寫了一句：tussle 跟 tousle 有關。tousle 是把頭髮揉得亂七八糟。這只是兩個字之間的關聯，不是完整的來源說明，所以請把它當記憶掛鉤看：tousle 弄亂的是頭髮，tussle 弄亂的是纏在一起的兩個人。
