As a-curse is not found before the 12th c., the prefix does not here represent an older ar- or an-, but is imitated from the a- into which both of these had then sunk, and was apparently intensive, as in wake, a-wake, rise, a-rise. In 5, when the scribes latinized the Fr[ench] prefix a- before c to ac-, they servilely did the same with a-curse, whence the false spelling ac-curse.
