assisted
UK: əˈsɪstɪd | US: əˈsɪstɪd
vt. helped or supported someone in doing something
adj. involving help or support from another person or device
The word "assisted" derives from the Latin assistere, meaning "to stand by" or "to help," formed from ad- (toward) + sistere (to stand). The morpheme "assist" retains its core meaning of providing aid, while the suffix "-ed" marks the past tense or past participle form. Over time, the word evolved in Middle English via Old French assister, solidifying its modern usage in contexts involving support or collaboration.
