coathanger

Garment-holding hook

A coathanger is a device for hanging clothes, typically a curved frame of wire, wood, or plastic with a hook at the top.

Coathangers keep garments from wrinkling when stored in closets.

Wire coathangers have grim associations with self-induced abortions before the procedure was legal.

Also spelled as two words: coat hanger.
