   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.
