AID

Read a random definition: Nihil dicit

A quick definition of AID:

AID: AID can mean different things depending on the context. In medical terms, it can refer to a procedure called artificial insemination by donor, which helps people who want to have a baby but need help from a sperm donor. In international development, AID stands for the United States Agency for International Development, which helps people in other countries by providing resources and support. In history, AID used to mean a type of tax or tribute that people paid to their lords in times of difficulty or distress. It could also refer to assistance in a legal case where multiple parties are involved.

A more thorough explanation:

AID is an abbreviation that can have different meanings depending on the context:

  1. Artificial insemination by donor (a medical procedure to help people have children)
  2. United States Agency for International Development (a government agency that provides foreign aid to other countries)
  3. A subsidy or tax granted to the king for an extraordinary purpose, also known as grant-in-aid
  4. A benevolence or tribute (i.e., a sum of money) granted by the tenant to his lord in times of difficulty and distress
  5. Assistance in defending a lawsuit in which the plaintiff also has a claim against an unsued third party having a joint interest in the defense

Example 1: John and Jane wanted to have a baby but couldn't conceive naturally, so they decided to try AID (artificial insemination by donor).

Example 2: The United States government provided AID (foreign aid) to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

Example 3: In medieval times, a lord could ask for AID (grant-in-aid) from his tenants to pay for his daughter's wedding.

Example 4: When the king needed money for a war, he could ask for AID (benevolence or tribute) from his subjects.

Example 5: If two people are being sued together, they can ask for AID (assistance in defending a lawsuit) from each other.

These examples illustrate the different meanings of AID and how they can be used in different contexts. AID can refer to medical procedures, government agencies, historical practices, and legal assistance.
