Definition
一股股 is a reduplicated form of the measure word 股 (gǔ), which is used for streams, currents, smells, and other continuous flows. The reduplication 一股股 means 'stream after stream' or 'one after another' — it emphasizes the successive, ongoing, or multiple nature of the flow. You can use it for physical things like smoke or water, as well as abstract things like emotions or feelings.
