- 1Third-person singular present of suspend.
The chairman suspends the meeting whenever the debate grows too heated.
A single thin wire suspends the sculpture above the gallery floor.
Note
This is the present-tense form a singular third-person subject takes (he, she, it, a chairman, a wire); every other person keeps the bare suspend. It carries the verb's whole range unchanged: a chairman who suspends a meeting halts it, a wire that suspends a sculpture holds it hanging, and a chemist who suspends a powder disperses it through a liquid. In the hanging sense, the subject is the support, not the thing that hangs.
