Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English ah, aa, a (ah), of, or from Old English ēa, *eah (oh, alas), from *a, *ah (ah). Earliest recorded use is circa 1175 in the Ormulum: A, Maȝȝstre! icc wat tatt tu full wiss Arrt Godess Sune ("Ah, Master! I know for sure that thou art God's Son"). Some propose that the Middle English is borrowed from Old French a (ah!, oh!, hey!) (represented by modern ah).
