adjute

/əˈd͡ʒuːt/

adjute means to add, include.

adjute is pronounced /əˈd͡ʒuːt/.

Etymology

From Middle French adjouter (modern French ajouter), from Old French ajoster, from Vulgar Latin *adiuxtāre. The spelling was perhaps reinforced by folk-etymological association with Classical Latin adiūtō (“to help”) (which Samuel Johnson gives as the etymology and meaning). Possibly a doublet of adjust.
