The structure combines "hang" (to make a turn, as in "hang a turn") with "a left," forming a phrasal verb for turning left. It is used to describe making a left turn while driving or walking, often in informal, quick directions. People typically say "Hang a left at the next light" or "Hang a left after the gas station." The term originated in mid 20th century American English, possibly from the idea of "hanging" a turn like hanging a curve in driving, and remains common in casual speech alongside "hang a right."
