Confrontation

Confrontation is an element of conflict wherein parties confront one another, directly engaging one another in the course of a dispute between them. A confrontation can be at any scale, between any number of people, between entire nations or cultures, or between living things other than humans. Metaphorically, a clash of forces of nature, or between one person and his own causes of internal turmoil, might be described as a confrontation.

Contronym

A word which is defined as both itself and the opposite of itself.

E.G

“Because of their oversight, Russia was sanctioned by NATO”

Can mean that Russia was given approval (sanctioned) by NATO because of their vigilance (oversight)

Or that Russia was punished (sanctioned) by NATO because they egregiously overlooked something (oversight)

Words that can perform or imply two directly contradictory actions are called contronyms

1. I clipped (attached) on a bow tie after I got my hair clipped (detached, cut off) at the barber shop

2. The House Oversight Committee’s role is to perform oversight (strenuous watchdog duties) by ensuring that no oversights (mistakes, errors) are made in the government

3. I screened (blocked) the light from my eyes so I could see the movie that was being screened (shown)

4. I was the latest to rent (buy) the apartment that my landlord had been renting (selling, leasing) for five years now
