hook
Bend for hanging
A hook is an implement or tool, typically of metal or plastic, with the length curved back on itself and possibly a sharp end that makes it suitable for holding (coat hook) or capturing (fishhook).
To hook something usually means to capture it with a hook.
If you are hooked on something, it has either captured your interest, or you are addicted to it.
The hook in a song is a short, repeating part of the melody.
