In many cases yes. It has several others as well, such as in avocation. In others,
such as amuse, clearly not to or at:
"a- (3)
prefix meaning "not, without," from Greek a-, an- "not" (the "alpha privative"),
from PIE root *ne- "not" (source also of English un-).
In words from Greek, such as abysmal, adamant, amethyst; also partly nativized as
a prefix of negation (asexual, amoral, agnostic). The ancient alpha privatum,
denoting want or absence."
