Our First Double Clue Word

In the early days of its launch - the Smart-Vocab Challenger gained popularity among students primarily on the back of the words that had two diverse meanings. And it would throw up these words with regularity. Double clues that were provided, and they were completely unrelated - led us to the same word. 
Beginning today, we will pick one such word for every second Saturday of the month (ideal time to be cheesy!). So here goes our first Double Clue word:

Clue#1: liable to happen or may be just not; uncertain; 
Clue#2: any one of the representative groups of a larger community or a congregation or a much larger group

The word is Contingent

The norm these days is that when a Head of State comes visiting there is a business contingent that comes along.
