In physics and engineering, moment is usually defined as the force which causes anything to rotate. Just like force, which causes an object to move in a linear direction. Moment can be treated like the force which causes an object to rotate about a certain defined axis. Unlike force however, an axis of rotation needs to be defined before moment can be calculated.

A minute portion or point in time.

Additionally... you will encounter moments if you read about levers and mechanical advantage.
