"To strike a tartar" is an idiom that means to encounter someone or something unexpectedly formidable or challenging, often in a situation where one might have underestimated the difficulty or strength involved. The phrase originates from the historical perception of the Tartars as fierce and formidable warriors. Essentially, it serves as a caution against underestimating opponents or challenges.
