Start a fight (3-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

set-to

I believe this is a double definition.

'start' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a fight' is the second definition.
(I know that set-to is a type of fight)

(Other definitions for set-to that I've seen before include "Scrap" , "Altercation" , "Brief fight" , "brush with violence?" , "Disagreement, fight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
