Definitions

  1. Expression of realization, relief, surprise, or satisfaction

Word origin

From Middle English ah, aa, a (“ah”), of imitative origin, or from Old English ēa, *eah (“oh, alas”), from Proto-West Germanic *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 French ah).

Used in a sentence

  • Ah, I understand now.
  • Ah! It's good to be back home!
  • Ah, the flowers of spring.
