"amid" means "in the middle of" or "among". Examples: I lost sight of him amid the confusion of the battle. The satellite could be seen clearly amid the background of the stars. Amid the perils and dangers of life, you should remember what your parents taught you. Actually "amid" is not a common word, and has slightly poetic or grandiose overtones.
