The encounter is satisfying (7)
I believe the answer is:
meeting
I believe this is a double definition.
'the encounter' is the first definition.
('meeting' can be a synonym of 'encounter')
'is satisfying' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for meeting that I've seen before include "Satisfying" , "consultation" , "Formally arranged gathering" , "Encounter" , "Rendezvous" .)
