but is just as elegant? just wondering... theasauras, and dictionary.com are so not useful

ya, really weird request... perhaps someday you will know why, but that is doubtful

EDIT:
So after discovering that this is a really stupid question, my new one is...


what verbs are out there that are elegant, sophisticated and mean "cared for"

Advise
Facilitate
Handle
Arrange
Consult
Coordinate

None are quite a match.

Facilitate?

I am really looking for something that will end well with a 'd' without being abrasive, but i think the first part i have is what makes it overly abrasive... I am trying to make it feel like we just help you, but without forcing ourselves on you... facilitated just sounds wrong....

This is the best one so far, it fits in well with what i want it to, and overall seems like a great one... still taking suggestions, but yea... any really cool foreign words that make sorta sense to english people would be awesome too.

I don't know, facilitate sounds like the closest match.

with the first part i currently have, that begins to sound to authoritative to the end user, perfect for what the backend can provide, but end user would feel to authoritative.

Shepherd, as a verb, is the closest approximation I can think of:

: to guide or guard in the manner of a shepherd <shepherded the bill through Congress>
