confluence
KON-floo-ence
The point where two rivers or streams meet and join. A confluence is always a place of energy — the currents negotiate, the water colors mix or refuse to mix, and the combined flow is greater than either alone. Many cities are built at confluences.
Etymology
Latin confluentia, from confluere, to flow together — con- (together) + fluere (to flow).
