Meet with French chap upset about matter he ingested (9)
I believe the answer is:
encounter
This could be a double definition.
'meet with' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'french chap upset about matter he ingested' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for encounter that I've seen before include "Unexpected meeting" , "battle" , "Come upon, meet" , "Meet; confrontation" , "Bump into" .)
