"such figure"?????

The context I heard was "Sir, I couldn't help myself because you cut such imposing figure"

Why in the world is the prefix("a) here skipped?
Thanks!

So that's called an "article" instead of "prefix"?
What's the difference between the term and all the others such as "definite article"?
I mean an "article" could still mean "definitely "article" right?

THanks!:)

This, totally.
I've never seen/heard the word "the" being referred to as "indefinite article", ever.
