Between; in the space separating two things (an archaic or poetic form of 'betwixt').
From Middle English 'atwixt' or 'atwix,' a variant of 'betwixt.' The 'a-' prefix comes from Old English meaning 'in' or 'on,' combined with 'twixt' (from 'betwixt'), which itself derives from Old English 'be-' (by) + 'twi-' (two). The word literally meant 'by the two' or 'between the two.'
