Intended to help me in (5)
I believe the answer is:
aimed
'intended' is the definition.
(aiming is a kind of intending)
'help me in' is the wordplay.
'help' becomes 'aid' (synonyms).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'aid' enclosing 'me' is 'AIMED'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for aimed that I've seen before include "Set sights on for a dime" , "Planned, intended to try" , "Focused on as target" , "Directed, targeted" , "Tried; pointed" .)
