different between succour vs contributer
succour
English
Etymology
The noun is derived from Middle English socour [and other forms], which was erroneously treated as the singular form of socours (“aid, assistance, help; encouragement; support; remedy, relief; sustenance; military assistance or relief; protection, refuge; helper; protector”) [and other forms], from Anglo-Norman socurs, sucurs, and Old French secors, secours, socors, socorse (compare Anglo-Norman soccour, socur, succour, succur, variants of Old French secor; modern French secours (“aid, assistance, help”)), from Medieval Latin succursus (“act of succouring”), from Latin succurr?re, from succurr? (“to run to the aid of; to aid, help; to go under, run beneath; to undergo”), from sub- (prefix meaning ‘beneath, under’) + curr? (“to run; to hasten, hurry; to move, proceed, travel; to traverse”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *?ers- (“to run”)). The English word is cognate with Italian soccorso (“aid, assistance, help, succour”).
The verb is derived from Middle English socouren (“to aid, assist, help; to provide for one's needs, maintain, support; to assuage, relieve, remedy; to comfort; to provide military assistance; to rescue, save; to give refuge or shelter to; to defend, protect”) [and other forms], from Anglo-Norman socure [and other forms] (compare Middle French secourir, Old French succurir, sucurir (“to rescue; to remedy”); modern French secourir (“to help out; to succour”)), from Latin succurr?re; see further above. The English word is cognate with Italian soccorrere (“to assist, help”), Occitan secorrer, socorre, Portuguese socorrer (“to help, succour; to rescue”), Spanish socorrer (“to aid, assist, help, succour; to pay on account”).
