Confront a western warrior (5)
I believe the answer is:
brave
This might be a double definition.
'confront a western' is the first definition.
'brave' can be an answer for 'confront' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'a western' bit.
'warrior' is the second definition.
(brave is a kind of warrior)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brave that I've seen before include "Defy" , "Plucky" , "Film about William Wallace" , "Courageous, dauntless" , "Showing courage" .)
