among 在中间
来自短语on mong. 词根mong, 中间,同mingle, 混在一起。
- among
- among: [OE] Gemong was an Old English word for ‘crowd’ – ge- was a collective prefix, signifying ‘together’, and -mong is related to mingle – and so the phrase on gemonge meant ‘in a crowd’, hence ‘in the midst, surrounded’. By the 12th century, the ge- element had dropped out, giving onmong and eventually among. A parallel bimong existed in the 13th century.
=> mingle - among (prep.)
- early 12c., from Old English onmang, from phrase on gemang "in a crowd," from gemengan "to mingle" (see mingle). Collective prefix ge- dropped 12c. leaving onmong, amang, among. Compare Old Saxon angimang "among, amid;" Old Frisian mong "among."

单词分析
这些前置词均含“在……之间,在……之中”之意。among指三者或三者以上的同类事物之间。
between多指两者之间,但现代英语中也可指三者或三者以上,表示彼此间清楚的独立的个体关系。
amid正式用词,侧重指在某个地方的中间或被某个东西包围着或在非同类人中间。
amongst与among同义,是among的变体。一般说来among总能替代amongst,而amongst则不然。
