Etymology
Confrunta entered Romanian in the nineteenth century as part of the wave of French and Latin-based neologisms that modernized the language. It traces to Medieval Latin confrontare, built from com- (together) and frons, frontis (forehead, front). The core image is two foreheads or fronts brought to face each other.
