Etymology
The French noun **as** comes directly from the Latin *as*, a unit of weight (about 27 g) that was also used as a coin. Old French borrowed the word as “one, a single unit,” and in the 15th‑17th centuries it was applied to the highest‑value playing card, giving the modern meaning of “ace.”
