It was invented in the 14th century for armoured soldiers to be able to push enemy pikes out of the way, then they would draw something smaller like a dagger or mace, though many do have parrying lugs for one on one combat as well and would have been a feared weapon to armoured foe and unarmoured alike, it was a natural evolution from the claymore.
