What does AMONG mean in Scrabble?
preposition
In the middle of, surrounded by, or included as part of a group of people or things.
Among places something inside a group of three or more, whether physically, as in a house among the trees, or more abstractly, as in a disagreement among friends. English also uses among to single out one member of a larger set, as in among the tallest buildings in the city, pointing to a shared quality within the group. Careful writers still distinguish among from between, reserving between mainly for exactly two people or things, though the distinction has loosened in casual speech. Because it constantly links people, places and ideas to the groups that contain them, among is one of the most frequently used prepositions in English.
How AMONG is used
Very common in everyday speech and writing; traditionally used for groups of three or more, unlike between.
- The cabin stood alone among the pine trees.
- There was quiet disagreement among the committee members.
