Is the implication that “hung” threads refers to a hanging? Like someone hung for murder, versus hanging a coat up on a wall?

Because I always assumed a hung process was one that “hung up its boots” and retired, as in, the process has stopped working. It’s not dead, it’s no longer doing meaningful work or proceeding with a task.

I hope this has been an innocent, naïve understanding.
