A gathering where minutes are kept and hours are lost.
means A planned gathering of people who come together to discuss, decide, or share information.
from From the verb 'meet,' which traces back to Old English 'mētan,' meaning to come upon or encounter, itself from a Germanic root tied to 'mōt'—a coming-together. That same root gives us 'moot,' as in a 'moot' assembly where early peoples gathered to argue and decide, so the modern conference room is a direct descendant of the open-air council.
