From Arabic حَجّ‎ (ḥajj, “pilgrimage”), from حَجَّ‎ (ḥajja, “to overcome”).

hajj (plural hajjes)

(Islam) The pilgrimage to Mecca made by pious Muslims; one of the five pillars of Islam.
- 1855, Richard Francis Burton, Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Al-Madinah & Meccah, 1855, Appendix I:
  The word Hajj is explained by Moslem divines to mean “Kasd,” or aspiration, and to express man’s sentiment that he is but a wayfarer on earth wending towards another and a nobler world.
