In a state of flowing; moving or streaming in a continuous motion.
From 'a-' (in the state of) + 'flow,' where 'flow' comes from Old English 'flowan,' from Proto-Germanic, meaning to move in liquid form or continuous motion.
The 'a-' prefix helped Old English speakers turn nouns into active states without needing extra words—'aflow' meant 'in a flowing state' just as naturally as 'asleep' means 'in a sleeping state.'
