The 'q' refers to the long arm of the chromosome.
A prototypical condensed chromosome has two arms: a short arm and a long arm. The 'p' stands for the French word 'petit' (which means small). The 'q' doesn't stand for anything in particular, but because 'q' comes after 'p' in the alphabet, it is used to refer to the long arm of the chromosome.

What are P and Q arms of a chromosome?
The p arm is the shorter arm of the chromosome. The q arm is the longer arm. For chromosomes which are metacentric, the arms tend to be the same length. For submetacentric, acrocentric, or telocentric, the p and q arms show clear differences in length- and thus are classified accordingly.
When the the P arm and Q arm have the same length what they called?
When the p arm and q arm have the same length in a chromosome, they are called metacentric chromosomes. This results in the centromere being positioned in the center, giving the chromosome a symmetric appearance.
