Asprout

/əˈspaʊt/ adjective

Definition

In the process of sprouting or beginning to grow, especially of plants sending up new shoots.

Etymology

From a- (on, in, at) + sprout (the verb), following the same Old English pattern as 'aspring.' The 'a-' prefix marked progressive or inchoative verbs describing the beginning of an action or state.

Kelly Says

The 'a-' prefix in words like 'asprout' and 'abloom' was incredibly productive in Middle English—you could theoretically add 'a-' to any verb to make an adjective, but only a few survived into modern English because the pattern became unfashionable.
