The word confronted means to stand in opposition in a hostile
manner. An example of a sentence with this meaning would be: "Everyone dreaded the consequences
if the the two nuclear armed nations confronted each other directly on the
battlefield."
Confronted is also used with reference to something
that is in one's way. For example, "Though her grades were excellent, there were several
financial issues that she still had to confront before she could join
college.”
Usually in legal terminology the word confronted is used
when something is presented for acknowledgement or contradiction. For example, “He was confronted
by the law enforcement agency with credit card records that showed he had bought the gun used in
the murder.”
