A shortened or colloquial form of 'antique'; an old or valuable object.
Informal abbreviation of 'antique,' itself from Latin 'antiquus' (ancient, old), used in casual conversation and trade to refer quickly to old objects.
You might hear antique dealers at markets say 'nice antiq!' as shorthand—it's the kind of insider slang that develops in communities where people talk about old things all day long.
