rainbow.... is right! "À propos" is idiomatic and it means "by the way" or - more freely translated - (since we are) "speaking of it/that".

It is 'a propos' well enough , but its usage and meaning are different from the previous answers.It means "by the way", "come to think of it" in its idiomatic, not in its literal use.

It's probably "a propos" - a French phrase meaning "appropriate" or "suited to the purpose."

Apropos means "at an opportune time".

You're right, it's apropos. It means "being at once opportune and to the point."
