Definition
佐 is a bound morpheme (b.f.) meaning 'to assist'. It does not appear alone in modern Chinese; you will find it as part of compound words such as 佐证 (to support with evidence), 佐餐 (to accompany a meal), and 辅佐 (to assist a ruler). Treat it as a building block rather than a standalone verb.
