Just an error, or nonce coinage, I'm sure.
If there had been a Latin root that gave 'combactive', then it would also give the Italian combattivo, but really the 'combat', 'battle' words come from bat- with no original C.
The other division it suggests, com- + active, is also excluded, since com- never takes the form comb- before vowels.
