Etymonline
Word Origin & History
ad-
prefix expressing direction toward or in addition to, from L. ad "to, toward," from PIE *ad- "to, near, at" (cognate with O.E. æt; see at). Simplified to a- before sc-, sp- and st-; modified to ac- before many consonants and then re-spelled af-, ag-, al- etc., in conformity
EXPANDwith the following consonant (e.g. affection, aggression). In O.Fr., reduced to a- in all cases, but written forms were refashioned after L. in 14c. in Fr., and 15c. in Eng. words picked up from O.Fr. In many cases pronunciation followed the shift.
