Assisted (5)
I believe the answer is:
aided
'assisted' is the definition.
('aid' can be a synonym of 'assist')
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for aided that I've seen before include "not under their own steam?" , "'Assisted, helped (5)'" , "given assistance" .)
I've seen this clue in the New York Times, The Star Tribune, the LA Times, The Guardian, the Universal, the Canadiana, The Telegraph, the Newsday.com and The Times.
