Etymology

The word 'hanger' derives from the Old English word 'hangian,' which means to hang or attach. Its evolution is closely linked to the concept of suspension, where items are hung to avoid contact with the ground or surfaces. In the 19th century, the modern design of hangers we recognize today began to take shape. Early hangers were primarily crafted from wood and designed for functional use in tailoring and clothing stores. The transition to using metal and plastic materials occurred in the 20th century, as these became more accessible and affordable. The innovation of non-slip coatings and specialized clips for pants further indicated the evolving practicality of hangers in everyday life. Today, hangers are a staple in garment care, greatly influencing how we store and display clothing in personal and commercial contexts.
