7. To wait upon, as the guests at table, by carving and passing food. {To help forward}, to assist in advancing. {To help off}, to help to go or pass away, as time; to assist in removing. --Locke. {To help on}, to forward; to promote by aid. {To help out}, to aid, as in delivering from a difficulty, or to aid in completing a design or task. The god of learning and of light Would want a god himself to help him out. --Swift. {To help over}, to enable to surmount; as, to help one over an obstacle. {To help to}, to supply with; to furnish with; as, to help one to soup. {To help up}, to help (one) to get up; to assist in rising, as after a fall, and the like. [bd]A man is well holp up that trusts to you.[b8] --Shak. 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[94]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 [bd]stands by[b8] 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.

The god of learning and of light Would want a god himself to help him out. --Swift. {To help over}, to enable to surmount; as, to help one over an obstacle. {To help to}, to supply with; to furnish with; as, to help one to soup. {To help up}, to help (one) to get up; to assist in rising, as after a fall, and the like. [bd]A man is well holp up that trusts to you.[b8] --Shak. 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[94]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 [bd]stands by[b8] 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.
