English
Noun
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).
Usage notes
- The abbreviation mp (“market price”) is more common, but mp is formally only correct if the price of the ingredients changes (as for seafood), not if the price of the dish changes due to the composition changing.
Synonyms
- mp (market price)
- price available upon request
