You can first explode your string separated by space ' '. From the array you get after this, the 4th index will contain your 5th word. Using str_replace you can replace the comma in your 5th word and you will get the output Amet

$myvalue = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit Amet, consectetur adipiscing elit';
$arr = explode(' ',trim($myvalue));
echo $arr[4]; // get 5th word 
$str = str_replace( ',', '', $arr[4] ); 
// Display the  string separated from comma
echo($str);

Here is a function that will get you any word position with a list of chars you want to stop at.

$str = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit Amet, consectetur adipiscing elit';

echo getNthWord($str, ' ', 5, [',','(','[']);

function getNthWord($input, $delimiter, $numWord, $replaceChars = []) {
  $split = explode($delimiter, $input);
  $word = $split[ $numWord - 1 ];

  return str_replace($replaceChars, '', $word);
}
