Conflow

/ˈkɒnfloʊ/ noun

Definition

A flowing together; the act or process of multiple things flowing toward each other or mingling as they flow.

Etymology

From Latin con- (together) + flare (to flow). A direct Latin construction that's rarely used in modern English, largely replaced by 'confluence.'

Kelly Says

Conflow is the poetic ancestor of confluence—while confluence is common (like the confluence of rivers), conflow emphasizes the active flowing motion itself rather than the meeting point.
