词源

Probably partly from Spanish ayudante and partly Portuguese ajudante (“assistant, helper, aide”), use as nouns of adjectives from the present participles of Spanish ayudar and Portuguese ajudar, respectively, from Latin adiūtō (“to help, assist”), with remodeling after Latin adiūtāns, present participle of adiūtō, from adiuvō (“to help, assist”) + -tō (frequentative suffix).
