reckon with

Take into account

To reckon with something is to take it into account or deal with it as a factor: Any plan has to reckon with the possibility of failure.

A person to be reckoned with is formidable—someone who must be taken seriously: She's a force to be reckoned with in local politics.

The phrase often implies confronting something difficult or unavoidable.
