strings up
Hoists by cord
To string up is to hang something by attaching it to a higher point—stringing up lights, stringing up a piñata.
The phrase commonly refers to execution by hanging: They strung him up from the nearest tree.
In that sense it often implies mob justice or lynching rather than formal execution.
