What does the term suspend refer to?

To suspend means to hang from something. "The chandelier was suspended from the ceiling." That's why the Golden Gate bridge, for example, is called a suspension bridge: because the bridge hangs from a frame which is built above it. Figuratively, to suspend means to pause something, to "leave it hanging". "We are suspending our investigation for two days" means that we are temporarily stopping it. "Your membership is suspended" means that it is being temporarily revoked. This use of the word was further stretched, so that instead of saying "My membership in the club is suspended" they said "The club suspended me" although it wasn't them but their membership which was held up. This usage was carried into the workplace where employees will say "I've been suspended for three weeks" although what they mean is that their job has been suspended (temporarily stopped) for three weeks.
