Etymology and related forms: aiutare derives from Latin adiūtāre, from adiūtus meaning “help.” The noun aiuto means “help” or “assistance,” and it is the root from which the verb form is built. The word aiutano shares this common origin as the present-tense inflected form for “they help.”

Usage notes: Aiutano is a standard grammatical form and is not typically used as a standalone proper noun in ordinary Italian. It functions exclusively as a verb form to express an action carried out by multiple subjects.
