Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?
The thief pulled out a knife and bade defiance to the police officer.
bid defiance to = behave in a provoking manner to someone
Thanks for your efforts.
Regards,
