Definitions

  1. an oriental tobacco pipe with a long flexible tube connected to a container where the smoke is cooled by passing through water

Word origin

Borrowed from Hindustani حقہ / हुक़्क़ा (huqqā) and, in turn, derived from Arabic حُقَّة (ḥuqqa, “pot, jar”), from حُقّ (ḥuqq, “cavity, hollow”).
