     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["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.
            [1913 Webster]
