Confront British party (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brave

'confront' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'british party' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'party' becomes 'rave' (type of dance party).
'b'+'rave'='BRAVE'

(Other definitions for brave that I've seen before include "Showing courage" , "Fine" , "Displaying courage" , "Indian warrior" , "Daring" .)
