Etymology
The word 'amongst' is a variant of 'among', which has been in use since Middle English. It derives from the Old English word 'amang', meaning 'in the midst of'. Over time, 'amongst' became less commonly used in American English, where 'among' is more prevalent. However, 'amongst' is still widely used in British English and other English-speaking countries.
