syn: to aid; assist; succor; relieve; serve; support;
sustain; befriend.
usage: to help, aid, assist. these words all agree in
the idea of affording relief or support to a person
under difficulties. help turns attention especially to
the source of relief. if i fall into a pit, i call for
help; and he who helps me out does it by an act of his
own. aid turns attention to the other side, and
supposes co"operation on the part of him who is
relieved; as, he aided me in getting out of the pit; i
got out by the aid of a ladder which he brought.
assist has a primary reference to relief afforded by a
person who "stands by" in order to relieve. it denotes
both help and aid. thus, we say of a person who is
weak, i assisted him upstairs, or, he mounted the
stairs by my assistance. when help is used as a noun,
it points less distinctively and exclusively to the
source of relief, or, in other words, agrees more
closely with aid. thus we say, i got out of a pit by
the help of my friend.
