Nguồn gốc từ
The adverb is derived from Late Middle English a-flame, from a- + flame, flaume, flawme (flame). Flame, flawme is derived from flaumbe, flaume, and Old French flame, flambe, from Latin flamma, probably ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰel- (to blaze, burn (?); bright flame, fire (?)). a- flame.
