AFOOT
What afoot means
Something that is happening or being planned, especially something significant or underway.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *a-* (on, in) + *foot*, literally meaning "on foot." The prefix *a-* was a common way to form adjectives and adverbs in Old English, as in "ablaze" or "asleep." By the Middle Ages, *afoot* had developed the figurative sense of something being in motion or underway, still suggesting the image of something set in motion like a person walking.
