扭打；推擠
核心畫面
One way to hold this word: pushing at close quarters. Two people are near enough to grab each other, so nothing is aimed and nothing is — arms get in the way, feet slide on the ground, and it is over in seconds. Keep the pushing and drop the other person, and you get feet that along the floor. Keep the pushing and make the other side daily life, and you get someone getting by on very little.

可以想成：scuffle 的畫面比較像「近距離互推」。兩個人貼得太近，揮不出拳，也瞄不準，就是推來拉去，幾秒鐘就結束。手臂卡住，腳在地上磨。把「對手」拿掉，只留下腳在地面上磨過去的那個推，就是拖著腳走路的意思。把「對手」換成生活，天天跟日子推來推去，就是勉強餬口的那個俚語用法。From the word’s history
The supplied source says the word is possibly of North Germanic origin, comparing Swedish skuff, a push, and skuffa, to push, from a root meaning to shove. The source hedges this itself, so treat it as a likely route rather than a settled fact — but the idea of a shove does sit under every sense in this group.
手上的來源說這個字可能來自北歐語系，並拿瑞典文 skuff（一推）、skuffa（推）來對照，底下是一個表示「推」的古老字根。來源自己用了「可能」，所以這是一條很像的線，不是定論。不過「推」這個畫面，確實在這一組每一個意思底下都看得到。
