The help I had with an article (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aid

'the help' is the definition.
('aid' can be a synonym of 'help')

'i had with an article' is the wordplay.
'i had' becomes 'I'd' (I'd).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'an article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'id' after 'a' is 'AID'.

(Other definitions for aid that I've seen before include "Care, assistance" , "Auxiliary" , "Relief" , "Help. Assist" , "grant" .)
