Arranged for aggressive young man to accept help (4,3)

I believe the answer is:

laid out

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'arranged' is the definition.
(laying out is a kind of arranging)

'aggressive young man to accept help' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'help' could be 'aid' (synonyms) and 'aid' is found in the answer.
'man' could be 'lout' (I have seen 'Uncouth man' mean 'lout' so perhaps 'man' could also mean 'lout') and 'lout' is located in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for laid out that I've seen before include "KO'd" , "Spent" , "boxer risks being this" , "Paid" , "prepared for burial" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
