Melee  

Melee is used to describe any damage dealt that is not considered ranged.

It can be used in the context describing a class which deals mostly close-range damage:

Witch Elves are a melee class.

or to indicate the range from which a character attacks:

Shadow Warriors want to say out of melee range to shoot effectively.

or even to indicate the range of a spell:

This boss has a melee-range AoE you need to watch out for!
