Imminent- about to happen, close at hand, forthcoming, in the offing, on the horizon, expected, anticipated, looming…
It’s like waiting for the wedding to begin. Everyone is giddy with excitement and suspense. Or waiting for a baby to be born where there’s a conglomeration of anxiety, longing, and hopefulness.

We wait for the clothes to be dry, for the turkey to be done, for the pudding to set, for the tomato plant to produce for us a bumper crop of sweet fruit. We wait for someone to “pop the question”.
