Usage notes
In the sense "come face to face with someone by arrangement", meet is sometimes used with the preposition with. Nonetheless, some state that as a transitive verb in the context "to come together by chance or arrangement", meet (as in meet (someone)) does not require a preposition between verb and object; the phrase meet with (someone) is deemed incorrect. See also meet with.

When a dictionary describes a word as archaic, it is meant in the more specific sense 2 (see also Obsolete_and_archaic_terms).
