The knot most closely associated with execution is the hangman's knot, which is also known as the "hangman's noose".
The anatomy of a noose is such as this:
- the open end is called a "Honda"
- the knots are known as hangman's knots (depending on styles)
- the end that is plain is the hitch
In the US, a noose is sometimes left as a message in order to intimidate people. Its meaning is derived from its use in segregation era lynchings.[1][2][3][4] It is illegal to display a noose in a threatening manner in some states such as New York and Connecticut.[5]
