hanging ornament, generally attached to a necklace or an earring.
In modern French this is an usual word meaning “during” (but
also the gerund form of "hanging").
pendant (from Old French) is a hanging ornament, generally
attached to a necklace or an earring. The use of pendants has
several purposes; ornamentation is only one of them; pendants
are also used for identification (i.e. religious symbols, sexual
symbols, symbols of rock bands), protection (i.e. amulets,
religious symbols), self-affirmation (i.e. initials, names),
ostentation (i.e. jewels). Of course these purposes can be
combined (i.e. a richly jeweled symbol).
