Are about to happen to the little blighter at last (6)
I believe the answer is:
impend
'are about to happen to' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'little blighter at last' is the wordplay.
'little blighter' becomes 'imp'.
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'last' becomes 'end' (I've seen this in another clue).
'imp'+'end'='IMPEND'
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for impend that I've seen before include "Become imminent" , "menace" , "Be looming" , "seen to be around the corner" , "Threaten; approach" .)
