Helping or assisting someone; providing support or resources.
From Old French 'aider,' derived from Latin 'adjutare' meaning 'to help.' The '-ing' form creates the present participle, showing ongoing or continuous assistance.
The word 'aide' (a helper) and 'aid' (help) are the same root, but we use 'aide' for people and 'aid' for help itself—English's way of showing that help is both an action and a role!
