Note
A regular plural, but not every meaning of meeting carries over into it. The bare act of meeting is a mass idea and stays singular. The plural belongs to the countable senses: assemblies held for a purpose, chance encounters between people, and points where roads or streams join. A dated American use also takes it, for the services a charismatic preacher held in small towns.
