In the context of operating system rendezvous condition is related to message passing.

Sender can be blocked (not necessarily) upon sending and receiver must block if there is no message is waitng. If both sender and receiver are blocked and message is passed from sender to receiver, the situation is called rendezvous.

Or in simple words rendezvous is a condition in which both receiver and sender are blocked until message is delivered.
