I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'encounter' is the definition.
(I know that encounter can be written as meet)

(Other definitions for meet that I've seen before include "Happen upon" , "Come upon" , "Touch; suitable (arch.)" , "Fitting to come together" , "assembly at hunt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
