The word auxiliary is defined as an organisation that functions in the capacity of a subsidiary or supporting unit. An auxiliary can also be a person who serves his superior in the capacity of an aide or assistant to the latter. It also means an accessory or something that provides additional support to the main unit.

In the grammar of any language, an auxiliary verb is used with another form of a verb, which is non-finite, to form a periphrasis. It is also defined as a supplementary or secondary power plant or engine used apart from the main power plant or engine to propel a sailboat or a small motor which is used to run a pump set or a generator set.

It is also defined as a chemical or a formulated chemical product which enables a processing operation. The various processing operations may be in the functions of preparation, dyeing, printing or finishing. Auxiliaries help by speeding up these processes or carry out the processes in a more efficient manner. This is necessary to obtain the desired effect.
