What means Nawaaq

I think it is an Arabic world, popularised in S Asia, most likely during the Mughal dynasties, meaning fixer, clerk, or someone who assists the 'nawaab - origin 'na'ib': Representative, Agent, Councillor. It is found in Mirz Ghalib's poems.

النَّوَّاقُ (اسم) : متعهِّدُ الأُمور ومُصْلِحُه
نَوَّقَ (فعل) الْحَيَوَانَ : رَاضَهُ، ذَلـَّلَهُ، دَرَّبَهُ، عَلَّمَهُ
