Politics with the volume turned all the way up and the manners turned off.
means Organized armed conflict between groups, typically nations, states, or factions, waged through military force.
from Built from 'war' plus the suffix '-fare,' which traces back to the Old English verb 'faran' meaning 'to go, journey, or travel' — the same root behind 'fare' as in 'how did you fare' or a 'thoroughfare.' So warfare is literally 'the faring of war' — how war proceeds, the course it takes — rather than the fighting itself. 'War' comes from Old French 'werre,' probably from a Germanic root meaning confusion or strife, a distant cousin of 'worse.' Put together, the word quietly suggests war as a journey or process — something that unfolds and travels, not just a single clash.
