A member of an ancient Christian liturgical tradition involving alternating singing or chanting between two groups.
From Greek amoibe (antiphonal singing, literally 'exchange') + -ite (suffix for member or follower). From early Christian church practices.
Imagine a choir competition where two groups take turns singing the same song back and forth—that's amoibite singing in ancient churches, and it's still used today in some liturgies as a way to involve the whole congregation in worship.
