the.com/assist
The stat that proves you made someone else look good on purpose.
means To help bring about a result — doing part of the work that lets someone else finish the job.
from From French 'assister', from Latin 'assistere' — 'ad-' (to, toward) plus 'sistere' (to stand, to cause to stand). So at its root, to assist is literally to stand beside someone — close enough to steady them if they need it.
