hangings

/ˈhæŋɡɪŋz/ noun B2

decorative fabric hung on walls or windows

Word Origin From hang + -ing + -s. Hangings are things that are suspended, like wall tapestries. The Old English had two verbs: hangian (intransitive, 'to be suspended') and hōn (transitive, 'to suspend something'). That's why we have hung (from hangian) and hanged (from hōn, used for executions). The root also gives us hanger, hangover, and overhang.
