Juncture (4)

I believe the answer is:

node

(Other definitions for node that I've seen before include "Thickened enlargement" , "Where network lines meet" , "Slight swelling on a plant where new leaves emerge" , "Where conductors meet" , "Knot - swelling - knob" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
