Syn :
To aid ;
assist ;

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 .
