Syn: To aid; assist; succor; relieve; serve; support;

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["o]peration 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.
