Borrowed from French conjoncture.

noun conjunctures

  1. A combination of events or circumstances; a conjunction; a union. To be sitting, at so pleasant a conjuncture of one's courses, in oneself, by oneself, that I think it will freely be admitted is a way no worse than another, and better than some, of whiling away an instant of leisure.
