Question about Japanese
What does 対する from "その質問に対する答えが見つからなかった。" mean?
What does 対する from "その質問に対する答えが見つからなかった。" mean?
The translation provided in my study deck says it means "to be in response to" or "to face". And the sentence in English says "I couldn't find an answer to that question".
But "to be in response to" or "to face" isn't even used in the sentence, so I'm not too sure what it really means here. Is there a more literal translation someone can provide so that it can make more sense to me?

対する is typically translated as "against". But in this case it just means "for"
