among 英文词源

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."

among 同义词解析

among, between, amid, amongst

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。
