You must have found it in a sentence, right? If so, then you should provide the sentence. I suspect it was something like

"The liquid in his glass was afizz and unusally noisy". That usage would mean that the liquid in the glass was fizzy or fizz

"Afizz" may mean "in the manner of a fizz," "like a fizz," "in the process of fizzing," and so forth according to context. The combining form "a-" should be found in any good English dictionary.

[nq:1]"Afizz" may mean "in the manner of a fizz," "like a fizz," "in the process of fizzing," and so forth ... in very old words, but as the present example illustrates, it is very much still part of the living language.[/nq]

After reading all of Cunningham's posts and comments about subject lines, I'm pretty wary of those. I must have seen that subject line and just forgotten it immediate

I'm not surprized that it isn't there. I don't think it's a common expression. But it isn't an unusual construction.
