Approaching; drawing near; about to happen or expected to happen.
I have no time right now because of an impending paper submission deadline.
present participle and gerund of impend
The hurricane is impending.
Something that impends or threatens; an expected event.
Speed of locomotion and staying power in horse and others; the sense of smell in dog and in most other creatures (a far subtler and more analytical faculty than is man's mere perception of odour). Even an uncanny supra-natural sense of natural impendings, catastrophe, earthquake and flood, lacking in man, is found in simpler creatures.
From impend + -ing.
