Crossword Genius

So reticent in altering meeting (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intersection

'meeting' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'so reticent in altering' is the wordplay.
'altering' indicates an anagram.
'so'+'reticent'+'in'='soreticentin'
'soreticentin' is an anagram of 'INTERSECTION'.

(Other definitions for intersection that I've seen before include "Motorway junction" , "Crossing point" , "Crossing - junction" , "Where two lines cross" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
