Synonyms & antonyms
  • RelatedさがるNeutralThe everyday all-purpose verb for moving down or hanging; far broader than 「懸垂」 and not tied to hanging the body for exercise.
  • Related垂れるたれるNeutralDroops naturally downward; also covers liquid dripping and even giving instruction or a scolding, so its range is much wider than 「懸垂」.
  • Related垂れ下がるたれさがるNeutralOne end droops down; describes the look of a hanging object rather than a movement, so it suits things, not the exercise.
  • Relatedぶら下がるぶらさがるNeutralColloquial: hanging onto something with your body, swinging or dangling; the everyday word closest to 「懸垂」.
  • Related吊り下がるつりさがるNeutralHangs suspended from above, swaying; used mostly of objects rather than of a person exercising, so it is no substitute for 「懸垂」.
  • Related枝垂れるしだれるWrittenA written-style word for branches drooping down like willow strands, as with weeping cherry trees; not used for exercise.
  • Related吊り下げるつりさげるNeutralTransitive: you hang something up from above; it names the act of suspending an object, not a sport or body movement.

For the exercise use 「懸垂」, as in 「懸垂を10回する」. In everyday speech, hanging your body is 「ぶら下がる」, and an object drooping down is 「垂れ下がる」; the rest describe hanging or drooping of things or general downward movement.
