What does ASSIST mean in Scrabble?
verb
To help another person or group complete a task, usually by sharing part of the work or effort involved.
Assist is slightly more formal than the everyday word help, and it often appears in professional, medical or sporting contexts, as when a nurse assists a surgeon or a passer assists a teammate in scoring. As a noun, an assist names the act of helping, most familiarly in sports such as basketball or football, where a player earns an assist for setting up a teammate's goal or point. The word implies a supporting role rather than doing the main part of the work alone.
