suspension from a hook

意味（2）

A temporary or conditional delay, interruption or discontinuation.

Fear of dioxin emissions led to suspension of efforts to establish a waste-to-energy plant at the Brooklyn Navy yard.

意味（3）

(chemistry, physics) The state of a solid or substance produced when its particles are mixed with, but not dissolved in, a fluid, and are capable of separation by straining.

As the solids clump together, they get heavier causing them to fall out of suspension in the water.

意味（4）

Thus a kind of silt or sludge.

意味（5）

The act of keeping a person who is listening in doubt and expectation of what is to follow.

意味（6）

The temporary barring of a person from a workplace, society, etc. pending investigation into alleged misconduct.

suspension from school as a disciplinary measure

意味（8）

(music) The act of or discord produced by prolonging one or more tones of a chord into the chord which follows, thus producing a momentary discord, suspending the concord which the ear expects.

As in Sequenza IV, the suspension of the chord creates several different layers of activity, which can be understood by looking at the right hand’s chord in bar two.

意味（9）

(Scotland, law) A stay or postponement of the execution of a sentence, usually by letters of suspension granted on application to the Lord Ordinary.

意味（10）

(topology) A topological space derived from another by taking the product of the original space with an interval and collapsing each end of the product to a point.

To get an intuitive feeling for the characteristics of H'-spaces, it is instructive to consider an important class of such spaces, the suspensions. The suspension of an arbitrary topological space Y is defined to be the quotient space of Y⨯I where Y⨯0 is identified to one point and Y⨯1 is identified to another point. For example, the suspension of a circle is a cylinder with the two ends collapsed into one point each; in other words, a space homeomorphic to a sphere.

意味（11）

(topology) A function derived, in a standard way, from another, such that the instant function’s domain and codomain are suspensions of the original function’s.

A model category is called pointed if the initial object and terminal object are the same. The homotopy category of any pointed model category acquires a suspension functor denoted by 𝛴. It turns out that Ho(M) is a pre-triangulated category in a natural way[…]. When the suspension is an equivalence, M is called a stable model category, and in this case Ho(M) becomes a triangulated category[…].

意味（12）

(vehicles) The system of springs and shock absorbers connected to the wheels in an automobile, which allows the vehicle to move smoothly with reduced shock to its occupants.

If you drive over a speed bump, the left and right tires push the suspension upward at the same time.
