  1. Impelling, being used as an adjective or present participle of the verb "impel," refers to the action or process of compelling, driving, or propelling someone or something forward, often with a sense of urgency or forcefulness. It implies exerting an external force that motivates or pressurizes movement or action.

    In a literal sense, impelling can describe a physical push or drive that forces an object or person to move in a specific direction. This could be seen, for instance, in an impelling force pushing a car up a hill or a strong wind impelling a kite to ascend higher into the sky.
