Helps Saint to enter Saint's city? Not I (7)
I believe the answer is:
assists
'helps' is the definition.
(assisting is a kind of helping)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for assists that I've seen before include "Aids" , "Helps or waits on" , "Contributes to success" , "Provides" , "Lends a hand" .)
