assignation

assignation
An appointment for a meeting, generally of a romantic or sexual nature.

1749 As soon as Mr. Barville saw me, he got up, with a visible air of pleasure and surprize, and saluting me, asked Mrs. Cole if it was possible that so fine and delicate a creature would voluntarily submit to such sufferings and rigours as were the subject of his assignation. — John Cleland, [ Memoirs of Fanny Hill.]
