Definition of Intersection

An intersection is a point that is common to two lines or curves.

Note: we usually refer to this point as a "point of intersection" or an "intersection point".

In the picture, the orange line and the blue curve intersect at the red dot, where they cross over. The red dot shows their point of intersection.
