Morphology

aplenty = plenty (semi-transparent) = a + plenty

The connection to 'plenty' is clear, but the prefixed form is fossilized and its adverbial use is somewhat idiomatic rather than a productive pattern for learners.

Etymology

Aplenty comes from a- + plenty, where a- means 'in' and plenty means 'lots' or 'full'. So, aplenty means 'in large amounts' and is an easy way to say there is a lot of something.
