人们通常认为,西方的扑克牌(poker)源自意大利的塔罗牌。除了大小鬼两张副牌外,共有52张正牌,分成四个花色。除了1-10等数字牌外,还有K、Q、J三种人头牌。其中K代表King(国王),Q代表Queen(王后),J代表Jack(勇士)。其中,表示数字“1”的牌用字母A表示,英语中叫做ace,意思就是“一”,来自法语和拉丁语as(一)。ace除了可以表示扑克牌中的A外,还可以表示骰子中的一点。由于ace代表最小的分值,所以ace原本含有“坏运气”、“无用的东西”等含义。

小知识
An ace is a playing card with the highest value in a deck. There are four aces in a full deck of cards, each with a single heart, spade, diamond, or club pictured on it.
Ace can also describe someone who's excellent at a particular skill: “He's an ace at making homemade jam!” In tennis, an ace is a point scored on a missed serve, and in golf it's a hole in one. When you ace something, you do a great job: “Just get in there and ace that math test today!” The earliest meaning was “one at dice,” from the Latin as, “a unit, one, or a whole.”
