The idiom "lock horns" originated from the literal behavior of certain animals, such as deer or bulls, who engage in combat by clashing their horns together during a territorial dispute or a struggle for dominance. The phrase is now used to convey the idea of a direct and confrontational engagement where both parties are firmly asserting their positions and are unwilling to back down.
