这组词都有“在……之间,在……之中”的意思,其区别是:
among指三者或三者以上的同类事物之间。
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。
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。
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。

"在,中间的",早期12世纪,源自古英语 onmang,在晚期古英语中有时是 amang 的缩写,来自短语 ongemang,字面意思是"在人群或公司中",来自 on(参见 a-(1))+ gemengan "混合"。第二个元素来自原始日耳曼语 *mangjan "揉搓在一起",可能来自 PIE 词根 *mag- "揉搓,塑造,适合"的鼻化形式。
集体前缀 ge- 在12世纪被删除,只留下 onmong, amang, among。与古撒克逊语 angimang "在...之间",古弗里斯语 mong "在...之中"相比较。
在之中,中间,总计,合计,数量
