A specific point in time, especially the present time

A social gathering or activity

A point in time that is gratifying or noteworthy

(Sports) A contest in a sports competition, such as a meet

An occasion affording an opportunity

(Physics) A phenomenon or occurrence located at a single point in spacetime, regarded as the fundamental observational entity in relativity theory.

A particular period of importance, influence, or significance in a series of events or developments

(Archaic) A final result; an outcome.

Outstanding significance or value; importance

An occurrence; something that happens.

A brief period of time that is characterized by a quality, such as excellence, suitability, or distinction

A prearranged social activity (function, etc.)

An essential or constituent element, as of a complex idea.

One of several contests that combine to make up a competition.

A phase or aspect of a logically developing process.

An end result; an outcome (now chiefly in phrases).

The product of a quantity, such as force or mass, and its perpendicular distance from a reference point.

(physics) A point in spacetime having three spatial coordinates and one temporal coordinate.

The tendency to cause rotation about a point or axis.

(computing) A possible action that the user can perform that is monitored by an application or the operating system (event listener). When an event occurs an event handler is called which performs a specific task.

(figurative) Weight or importance.

(obsolete) To occur, take place.

To be emitted or breathed out; to evaporate.

A definite period of time, specifically one-tenth of a point, or one-fortieth or one-fiftieth of an hour.

To expose to the air, ventilate.

A petit mal episode; such a spell.

That which comes, arrives, or happens; that which falls out; any incident, good or bad.

(As in "X moment") An embarrassing event, supposed to be characteristic of some person, group, or situation.

Something that happens at a given place and time

A minute portion of time; a point of time; an instant; as, at that very moment.

A special set of circumstances;

Impulsive power; force; momentum.

A phenomenon located at a single point in space-time; the fundamental observational entity in relativity theory

Importance, as in influence or effect; consequence; weight or value; consideration.

A phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon;

An essential element; a deciding point, fact, or consideration; an essential or influential circumstance.

An infinitesimal change in a varying quantity; an increment or decrement.

Tendency, or measure of tendency, to produce motion, esp. motion about a fixed point or axis.

A particular point in time;

An indefinitely short time;

At this time;

Having important effects or influence;
