- To drop from a high place on sharp stakes or hooks as a punishment.
1923, John Masefield, Selected Poems (poem), Enslaved:He rose up in his place and rent his dress.
" Let them be ganched upon the hooks, " he cried,
" Throughout to-day, but not till they have died.
Then gather all the slaves, and flay these three
Alive, before them, that the slaves may see
What comes to dogs who try to get away.
So, ganch the three."
