Some possibilities:

An Occurrence is a combination of an Individual and an Event. An Occurrence is a coupling of an Individual and an Event. An Occurrence is a pairing of an Individual and an Event.

Probably the latter, assuming that by pairing we do not mean union, but forming a tuple. Thus, more formally, an Occurrence would be a tuple of (Individual, Event), and has properties for referring to the Individual and the Event.

Is that congruent with what you had in mind?
