The moment an earlier upset or painful incident has been re-stimulated.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.

A person might experience a key-in when a present situation resembles an earlier painful incident — that earlier upset becomes restimulated and begins to affect the person in the present.
