Origin

Middle English (denoting the ‘one’ on dice): via Old French from Latin as 'unity, a unit'.

An ace was originally the side of a dice marked with one spot. The word comes from Latin as, meaning ‘unit’. Since an ace is the card with the highest value in many card games, the word often suggests excellence. This gave us the ace as a wartime fighter pilot who brought down many enemy aircraft, extended to anyone who excels at something. An ace up your sleeve (or in American English an ace in the hole) is a secret resource ready to use when you need it. A cheating card player might well hide an ace up their sleeve to use at an opportune moment. To hold all the aces is to have all the advantages, from a winning hand in a card game. To be within an ace of doing something is to be on the verge of doing it. This is from the ace as one and thus a tiny amount.
