Urgency
Drawing Near, Impending
noun, verbal noun
We're cut right down to the end, reaching that urge position where urgency is so strong.
切迫 is used to describe the tension in a situation where a time limit is drawing near, or to describe something bad or dangerous as impending.
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well. The せつ of 切 gets shortened to a small っ. The はく becomes ぱく.
