前綴as- 同ad-. 詞根sist, 站，詞根st的反復(fù)形式。

assizes 巡回法庭

來(lái)自古法語(yǔ)assise。前綴as- 同ad-. 詞根sid, 坐，同sit, session. 借指開(kāi)庭。單詞size為該詞縮寫(xiě)。因舊時(shí)法庭不僅有審判斷案職能，同時(shí)兼管規(guī)范經(jīng)濟(jì)生活中尺寸，重量，款罰，稅收標(biāo)準(zhǔn)等職能，因而衍生此義。比較中國(guó)古代縣官的職責(zé)。

assist

assist: [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, status

assist (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.)
