WHAT DOES PEND MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pend

Pend is a Scottish architectural term referring to a passageway that passes through a building, often from a street through to a courtyard, and typically designed for vehicular rather than exclusively pedestrian access. A pend is distinct from a vennel or a close, as it has rooms directly above it, whereas vennels and closes are not covered over but rather are passageways between separate buildings. The OED suggests that the etymology of the word is probably related to the archaic verb pend - "arch, arch over, vault", this in turn being derived from the French pendre, Latin pendēre "to hang"...

Definition of pend in the English dictionary

The first definition of pend in the dictionary is to await judgment or settlement. Other definition of pend is to hang; depend. Pend is also an archway or vaulted passage.
