asistente

/asisˈtente/ · B1 · noun · m

attendant

asistente = asistir (attend, assist) + -ente (one who does it)

From Latin assistere, to stand by. Spanish asistir means both to attend and to help, so an asistente is either an attendee or an assistant. English assistant is the same word; only the attend sense is new.
