ABETTOR (from " to abet," O. Fr. abeter, d and beter, to bait, urge dogs upon any one ; this word is probably of Scandinavian origin, meaning to cause to bite)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 61 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ABETTOR (from " to abet," O. Fr. abeter, d and beter, to bait, urge dogs upon any one ; this word is probably of Scandinavian origin, meaning to cause to bite) , a law
term
  implying one who instigates, encourages or assists another to commit an offence. An
abettor
  differs from an
accessory
  (q.v.) in that he must be present at the
commission
  of the
crime
 ; all abettors(with certain exceptions) are principals, and, in the
absence
  of specific statutory provision to the contrary, are punishable to the same extent as the actual perpetrator of the offence. A person may in certain cases be convicted as an
abettor
  in the
commission
  of an offence in which he or she could not be a
principal
 , e.g. a woman or boy under fourteen years of age in aiding
rape
 , or a solvent person in aiding and abetting a bankrupt to commit offences against the bankruptcy
laws
 .
