Scuffle \Scuf"fle\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Scuffled}; p. pr. & vb.
   n. {Scuffling}.] [Freq. of scuff, v.i.; cf. Sw. skuffa to
   push, shove, skuff a push, Dan. skuffe a drawer, a shovel,
   and E. shuffle, shove. See {Shove}, and cf. {Shuffle}.]
   1. To strive or struggle with a close grapple; to wrestle in
      a rough fashion.

   2. Hence, to strive or contend tumultuously; to struggle
      confusedly or at haphazard.

            A gallant man had rather fight to great disadvantage
            in the field, in an orderly way, than scuffle with
            an undisciplined rabble.              --Eikon
