Definition
悬挂 (xuánguà) means 'to suspend or hang something from above', emphasizing the object is fixed at a high point and hangs down. It is more formal and technical than 挂 (guà, everyday 'to hang'), and unlike 吊 (diào, 'to dangle or hang by a string'), 悬挂 implies a secure, often permanent attachment.
