confronter

/kɔ̃.fʁɔ̃.te/ noun

Someone who or something which confronts.

Word Origin From Latin con- 'together' and frons 'forehead, front' — literally 'to bring foreheads together'. The idea: confronting someone is facing them directly, forehead to forehead. The same root gives us confront, confrontation, affront (to face insultingly), effrontery (shameless boldness, literally 'out-frontness'), frontier, frontal. The morpheme breakdown con+front+er shows the agent suffix -er.
