I found this out of context. Looked everywhere and no answer to be found.
[alc.co.jp](http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%E5%8A%A3%E5%8B%A2) offers a bunch
of different meanings and is of not much help. Please help!

question
meaning
What does "劣勢を受け止める" mean?
[受け止める]{うけとめる} can mean to catch or stop a blow, but it can also mean to
accept or come to grips with something. Given that [劣勢]{れっせい} means something
along the lines of inferiority or an unfavorable/disadvantaged situation, then
without further context the best guess I can field is that it means "to accept
an unfavorable situation."
