20. Etymology: From Middle English with, from Old English wiþ ("against, opposite, toward"), a shortened form of wiþer, from Proto-Germanic *wiþr- ("against"), from Proto-Indo-European *wi-tero- ("more apart") ; from Proto-Indo-European *wi ("separation"). Cognate with Old Frisian with ("against, again"), Old Saxon with ("against, again"), Dutch weder ("again") and weer ("again, opposite"), Low German wedder ("again, against, opposite"), German wider ("against") and wieder ("again"), Danish ved ("by, near, with"), Swedish vid ("by, next to, with"). In Middle English, the word shifted to denote association rather than opposition, displacing Middle English mid ("with"), from Old English mid ("with"), from Proto-Germanic *midi, cognate with Old-Frisian mith ("with"), Modern Frisian mei ("with"), Old Norse með ("with"), Icelandic með ("with"), Dutch met ("with") and German mit ("with").
