ハンガー

ハンガー · hangaa · JLPT N1 · noun

hanger

🧥 ハンガー sounds like 'hunger': a coat hanger is what you use when you're hungry for a clean closet, not for food

ハンガー is the katakana of English 'hanger', so it's a loanword. Say 'hung-ah' and link it to the coat that hangs on it: the hanger holds the coat up.
