HOTAS as an acronym stands for "Hands On Throttle And Stick", basicly describing a joystick that can be connected to a PC or a console in order to deliver a maximum in realism, immersion and flexibility to the user.
What sets a HOTAS apart from an "average joystick" is that is consists of two modules that are in some way physically connected:
The "stick" and the "throttle".
Each requires the use of one hand for operation, hence the name.
The only ways of further upgrading a HOTAS system are adding control pedals and/or a head-mounted motion-tracking system.

If you're serious about flight-sims, you won't get around purchasing a HOTAS.

1. originated as a way of saying JK in spanish which was the popular way of saying Just Kidding on aim.
Hota - J
Ka - K
Hota Ka! = JK!
2. later transformed to mean anything, and can be used in any situation. Mostly used at times of releasing anger and frustration or in a state of shock. Same as "oh my gosh".
Word came from Centreville, VA in the korean community where a majority of korean teens take spanish as a language elective. Started by the Power Rangers of YSKPC.
