pendulous

hanging / drooping
Adjective

This term describes a specific type of hanging motion or posture characterized by weight and gravity. It suggests a sense of heaviness or looseness, often evoking a visual of something swinging like a pendulum. While it can be used for botanical elements like willow branches, it is frequently employed in medical or anatomical descriptions to describe sagging skin or organs.

Compared to "drooping," which can imply a lack of vitality or sadness (such as a wilting flower), "pendulous" is more descriptive of the physical structure and the effect of gravity on mass. It is a formal adjective and is rarely used in casual conversation, appearing more often in technical, literary, or descriptive writing.
