It's not a word that I have often come across in English and I was wondering if there were any article in the LE Network containing that word. I found only one article. It's a poem, where "an affront" means an "insult" or something "offending".

And almost count it an affront The presence to concede Of one however lovely, not The one that we have loved.
So we evade the charge of years On one attempting shy. The circumvention of the shaft Of life's declivity.
