assist 援助前缀as- 同ad-. 词根sist, 站,词根st的反复形式。 assizes 巡回法庭 来自古法语assise。前缀as- 同ad-. 词根sid, 坐,同sit, session. 借指开庭。单词size为该词缩写。因旧时法庭不仅有审判断案职能,同时兼管规范经济生活中尺寸,重量,款罚,税收标准等职能,因而衍生此义。比较中国古代县官的职责。
assistassist: [15] Etymologically, assist means ‘stand by’. It comes, via French assister, from Latin assistere, a compound verb formed from the prefix ad- ‘near’ and sistere ‘stand’ (related to Latin stāre ‘stand’, from which English gets state, station, status, statue, etc). A remnant of this original meaning survives in the sense ‘be present without actually participating’, but the main use of the word in English has always been that which came from the metaphorical sense of the Latin verb – ‘help’.=> state, station, statue, statusassist (v.)early 15c., from Middle French assister "to stand by, help, put, place, assist" (14c.), from Latin assistere "stand by, take a stand near, attend," from ad- "to" (see ad-) + sistere "stand still, take a stand; to set, place, cause to stand," from PIE *si-st-, reduplicated form of root *sta- "to stand" (see stet). Related: Assisted; assisting. Medical assisted suicide attested from 1884.assist (n.)1570s, "an act of assistance," from assist (v.). In the sporting sense attested 1877 in baseball, 1925 in ice hockey."
