Tingling; experiencing a slight prickling or vibrating sensation.
From the prefix 'a-' combined with 'tingle' (which comes from Middle English 'tinglen,' possibly from Old Norse). The 'a-' prefix intensifies or emphasizes the state of tingling.
The prefix 'a-' in these archaic words often put you 'in a state of' something—'atingle' isn't just tingly, it's *in a state of tingling*, which might explain why we dropped these forms as English became more efficient.
