Strong's Lexicon
ekkremannumi: To hang out, to suspend

Original Word: ἐκκρεμάννυμι
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: ekkremannumi
Pronunciation: ek-kreh-MAN-noo-mee
Phonetic Spelling: (ek-krem'-am-ahee)
Definition: To hang out, to suspend
Meaning: I hang out, mid: I hang upon.

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and the verb κρεμάννυμι (kremannumi, meaning "to hang" or "to suspend").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves the root תָּלָה (talah), which also means "to hang" or "to suspend." This is seen in passages like Esther 7:10, where Haman is hanged on the gallows.

Usage: The verb ἐκκρεμάννυμι is used to describe the act of hanging or suspending something. In a biblical context, it can refer to physical objects being hung or metaphorically to situations or conditions that are pending or unresolved.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the act of hanging or suspending objects was common in various contexts, from everyday life to religious practices. Items might be hung as offerings in temples or as signs in public spaces. The concept of something being "hung out" or "suspended" also carried metaphorical weight, often implying a state of anticipation or uncertainty.
