A late recovery in Chinese stocks
and comments by top Federal Reserve officials that eased fears of an imminent end to its stimulus
lifted shares and bonds off their lows on Tuesday

eminent / imminent
No, it’s not the name of the latest rapper from Detroit — eminent describes anyone who’s famous.
But imminent refers to something about to happen, like the next big thing’s imminent rise to the top. These two words sound the same to some, but they’re unrelated.
Imminent is from Latin imminere "to overhang," and to say that something is imminent is to say that it is hanging over you and about to fall, in a metaphorical way.
