Morphology
HQ = headquarters (semi-transparent) = H + Q
The initialism 'HQ' is a straightforward shortening of 'headquarters' and its meaning is directly recoverable from the full word. [Postprocessing: changed transparency from 'transparent' to 'semi-transparent' for abbreviation]
Etymology
HQ is short for headquarters, which comes from head ('main') and quarter ('place' or 'room'). So, HQ is the main place where a commander or an organization is based and where people plan and give orders.
