Etymology 1
[edit]From Middle English hangen, hongen, from a fusion of Old English hōn (“to hang, be hanging”, transitive verb) and hangian (“to hang, cause to hang”, intransitive verb), from Proto-West Germanic *hą̄han and *hangēn; also probably influenced by Old Norse hengja (“to suspend”) and hanga (“to be suspended”); all from Proto-Germanic *hanhaną, *hangāną, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱenk- (“to waver, be in suspense”).
See also Dutch hangen, Low German hangen and hängen, German hängen, Norwegian Bokmål henge, Norwegian Nynorsk henga; also Gothic 𐌷𐌰𐌷𐌰𐌽 (hāhan), Hittite 𒂵𒀀𒀭𒂵 (/kānk-/, “to hang”), Sanskrit शङ्कते (śáṅkate, “is in doubt, hesitates”), Latin cūnctārī (“to delay”).

Usage notes
[edit]- Formerly, at least until the 16th century, the past tense of the transitive use of hang was hanged (see quote from King James Bible, above). This form is retained for the legal senses “to be executed by suspension from the neck” and “to execute by suspension from the neck”, with hung used for all other meanings. hung is sometimes also used in the legal senses, but is proscribed in legal or other formal writing (for those senses). Rarely, hanged is used for non-legal senses as well, which is also proscribed. Either hanged or hung can be used for suicidal hangings, with hung being slightly more common. See also the etymology.

Vietnamese
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Vietic *haːŋ (“cave”). Possibly related to the word reconstructed as Proto-Mon-Khmer *ʔaaŋ (“to open”) by Shorto (2006).
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit](classifier cái) hang • (𡎟, 馨, 𧯄, 𧯅, 𥧎)
Usage notes
[edit]- There seems to be little consistency on which between hang or động would be used in cave names (for examples, hang Sơn Đoòng, but động Phong Nha). In some cases, both can be seen used. In translation of foreign cave names, hang seems to be universally used and not động.
