Etymology
The verb is the Form II derivation of the triliteral root ʔ-y-d, which carries the sense of strength and force. The related noun أَيْد means power or might. In Form II the pattern adds causative and intensive force, so the verb means to lend strength to something, that is, to support or back it.
