Etymology
مُلاكَمَة is the verbal noun of the Form III verb لاكَمَ (lākama), "to box someone," built on the triliteral root ل ك م (l-k-m), which carries the basic sense of punching or striking with the fist. Form III in Arabic typically marks an action done reciprocally or with effort toward another party, so the pattern here casts boxing as an exchange of blows between two people. The word entered common use as Arabic sport terminology adapted to describe the modern, Western-style combat sport.
