with-
against, away, back
Old English · wið
Old English wið meant "against" or "away". A few old verbs keep it: withdraw is to draw back, withhold is to hold back, withstand is to stand against. Not the common word "with".
Memory trick
WITH here is "AGAINST": hold against, draw back, stand against.
