What does AMIDST mean in Scrabble?
preposition
In the middle of something, or surrounded by it.
Amidst is the form of amid with the extra s and t, and it keeps a slightly more literary flavour in modern prose. It is common before plural or abstract nouns, as in amidst the noise or amidst the ruins. Writers often reach for it when a scene or feeling must be set against a background of busy surroundings. The ending came from adding t to the older amiddes, a pattern also seen in whilst and amongst.
