linkups

Points of connection

Linkups are connections or meetings between people, groups, or systems.

The word often describes planned encounters: The linkup between the two spacecraft occurred at midnight.

In casual use, a linkup can be a romantic or sexual meeting arranged informally: We had a linkup after the party.

The singular linkup works the same way.
