    1: jutting or leaning over : overhanging

    2: supported from above : suspended

    3: remaining undetermined : pending


    Origin: 14th century ;

     Middle English pendaunt "hanging, suspended, overhanging," borrowed from Anglo-French pendant, pendaunt "hanging (up or down), dangling, suspended" (continental Old French pendant), from present participle of pendre "to hang," going back to Vulgar Latin *pendere, transitive and intransitive verb formed from the stem of Latin pendēre "to be suspended, hang, be uncertain, depend (on)," of uncertain origin;

      * Note : Latin possessed both an intransitive verb of the second conjugation pendēre "to hang" and a corresponding transitive verb pendere, though the latter, in all likelihood having originally meant "to hang," is attested only in the extended senses "to weigh, have a weight of, pay (out), estimate, consider" (compare {pension:1|pension:1}, {pensive|pensive}). In the spoken Latin of the final years of the Roman Empire, a new third-conjugation verb *pendere was formed to express the meaning "hang" both transitively and intransitively. (Transitive "hang" had been expressed in classical Latin largely by compound verbs such as suspendere–see: {suspend|suspend}). The verb pendere in the specific sense "to execute by hanging" occurs textually in a capitulary (596) of the Merovingian king Childebert II and in the Lex Ribuaria, a seventh-century collection of Germanic law (see: citations in J.F. Niermeyer, Mediae Latinitatis lexicon minus).;
