centuries ago, the word “while” developed into “whiles” and “whilst”. “whiles” was soon dropped from usage, but “whilst” persists to this day, even though it is considered archaic.

the only difference between their meanings, and it is a subtle one, is that “whilst” has a slightly greater emphasis on two events happening concurrently. for example:
while other goods are becoming cheaper, bread is becoming more expensive.” (you would not use “whilst” here.)
