rendez-vous
Appointed meeting place
Rendez-vous is the French spelling of rendezvous—a planned meeting at a specific time and place, or the location itself.
The hyphenated form appears occasionally in English texts, particularly in older or more formal contexts, but the unhyphenated spelling now dominates: We have a rendezvous at noon.
