Question

juncture The architect claims his design for the new Islamic Museum represents a juncture of Muslim and Western culture. ˈʤəŋkʧər

Accepted Answer

(1) An important point in a process or activity. (2) A place where things join: junction. The meaning of juncture can be entirely physical; thus, you can speak of the juncture of the turnpike and Route 116, or the juncture of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers. But it more often means something nonphysical. This may be a moment in time, especially a moment when important events are “crossing” (“At this critical juncture, the President called together his top security advisers”). But juncture also often refers to the coming together of two or more ideas, systems, styles, or fields (“These churches seem to operate at the juncture of religion and patriotism,” “Her job is at the juncture of product design and marketing,” etc.)
