incense stick

noun incense sticks

A thin stick covered with incense that burns slowly and gives off fragrant smoke when set alight. For instance, Hawkins, Lewis, Hankin and Sengupta all cover the word agarbatti, an incense stick or joss stick, but there is no way of knowing when this term was first used in Indian English, nor whether it is now current or obsolete.
