Pendulous - a podcast by Word of the Day

Pendulous is an adjective that means hanging downward.

The Latin word pendere (PEN dare ay) means ‘to hang.’ A pendulous item hangs — usually on its own. For example: During construction, that pendulous wrecking ball above the school has always made me uncomfortable. I’m afraid it will someday stop hanging and fall on the head of some unfortunate passerby.
