Supported, kept up. A piece of machinery is maintained if it is kept in good repair. A person is maintained by another if that other person pays for the upkeep of the person. "To maintain" also means to advance and defend an intellectual position. "In the debate Mr. Pierce maintained that it would be more efficient to turn control of the government over to multinational corporations since they are running it anyway."
