aq
* (physical chemistry) Abbreviation of aqueous solution.

### Adjective

aq (not comparable)
* Initialism of as quoted (used on a menu to indicate that the price is not listed because it varies depending on the composition of a dish (as in a charcuterie or cheese platter) or because it is particularly high)
