Morphology

hangin = hang (transparent) = hang + in

Colloquial orthographic variant of the present participle 'hanging'; meaning 'suspending' is directly derived from 'hang' + '-ing' (rendered here as '-in').

Etymology

Hangin is the relaxed spoken form of hang + -in where the 'g' is dropped to match everyday speech. That is why as a verb hangin can mean 'to attach or suspend' or, when used for people, 'to hang out' or 'stay and relax'.
