A hanger is the curved piece of wood, plastic, or metal with a hook on top that you put a shirt, a dress, or a coat on, so the clothes can hang in a wardrobe and keep their shape. If you throw a jacket over a chair, it creases; on a hanger, it waits. Some hangers have clips for trousers or skirts. The word is just hang + -er: a thing you hang something on. It is an everyday object-word, not formal and not slang. Though actually, English also has hangar for the huge building that holds aircraft — it sounds nearly the same, and that is the spelling trap. This entry is the clothes one.
