吊り革
つりかわ · tsurikawa · JLPT N1 · noun
strap
吊 — 口 mouth on top + 巾 cloth below
Originally a pictograph showing a person hanging by a rope, depicting the act of suspending or hanging. Over time it came to mean 'to hang, suspend' and by extension 'to mourn' (since mourners would hang offerings). The modern form 吊 replaced the older 弔, which showed a person wrapped in cords.
