中古英语中的 bitwixe,源自古英语中的 betweox "在...之间,分隔的空间,其中,同时",来自 bi- "由" (参见 by) + tweox "为二",源自原始日耳曼语中的 *twa "二" (来自 PIE 词根 *dwo- "二") + *-isk "-ish"。
在古英语中出现的非词源性的 -t,在大约1500年后变得普遍。参见 amidst。在古英语和中古英语中, Betwixen 也是一个变体。中古英语还有 twix (介词,副词) "在...之间; 同时"。现在主要用在口语强调表达中的 betwixt and between。
Middle English, from Old English betwux, from be- + -twux (akin to Goth tweihnai two each) — more at between
The first known use of betwixt was before the 12th century
