assist
Give a hand
To assist is to help or support someone in completing a task.
The word often implies a secondary role—you assist the lead surgeon, assist with dinner preparations.
In sports, an assist is a pass or play that directly leads to a score: She had twelve assists in the game.
As a noun outside sports, assist appears mainly in phrases like an assist from meaning help received.
