Meaning

  1. cloak, cape

    um ("around") + hang(en) ("to hang") — something hung around the shoulders, transparently enough that it could have had a compound breakdown; kept as a single gloss here since the pieces have fully fused into one ordinary noun.

    • Sie trug einen langen, dunklen Umhang.

      She wore a long, dark cloak.
