Nguồn gốc từ

Probably in part from Spanish ayudante and in part from Portuguese ajudante (assistant, helper, aide), nominal uses of present participial adjectives from respectively ayudar and ajudar, from Latin adiūtō (to help, assist), with remodeling after its present participle adiūtāns (accusative acc. adiūtantem).
