Borrowed from Old Occitan batalha, or Old French bataille, from Late Latin battālia, variant of battuālia, from Latin battuō. If inherited, the Latin term would have resulted in a Spanish *bataja instead, and even in Old Spanish writing such as the Cantar de Mio Cid, it was treated as a neologism, while the normal term for fight or battle was lid.[1]
