To meet someone in response or opposition; to encounter someone coming toward you; archaic term for a reciprocal meeting.
From 'counter-' (toward or against) plus 'meet' (from Old English 'metan', to come upon). Old English compound that survives in some regional dialects.
Old poetry uses 'countermeet' to describe lovers rushing toward each other or armies meeting in combat. It's beautifully poetic—suggesting destiny or fate bringing two forces together!
