Places where people regularly meet to relax, socialize, or spend leisure time; favorite gathering spots.
From hang out (phrasal verb meaning to spend time idly or socialize) + -s (plural); became a single noun in the 20th century as youth culture created distinct social spaces.
Hangouts shape human identity in ways we underestimate—the local diner, mall, or street corner becomes where you become who you are, which is why losing a beloved hangout feels like losing a piece of yourself.
