The word "onhanger" may seem unfamiliar to many, as it is a rare word in English. It is spelled as /ɒnˈhæŋə/, which consists of three syllables. The first syllable "on" is a preposition that means "on top of" or "attached to". The second syllable "hang" is a verb that means "to suspend". The final syllable "-er" is a suffix that is added to a verb to form a noun, indicating a person or thing that performs an action. Therefore, "onhanger" refers to a device or instrument that suspends something.
