free-hanging
Hanging without attachment
Free-hanging describes something suspended without support from below or attachment at the sides—held only from above and able to move freely: free-hanging curtains, a free-hanging rope ladder.
In climbing, a free-hanging rappel descends through open air rather than against a rock face.
The term emphasizes that nothing restricts the object's natural movement or drape.
