Helpmeet is not a word.
Help and meet are two words.
In Genesis 2, Eve is referred to as an help for Adam. The word "meet" is used as an adjective. An adjective is a word used to describe a noun. The kind of help God desired for Adam is one that would meet him in the sense of matching him. Obviously, none of the beast of the field and fowl of the air and cattle matched Adam.
An other man, a woman man, was required to meet him as an help.
So if you use the terms properly, you either will reverse the order of the terms as "meet help" which shows the word 'meet' as an adjective, which it is, or you will include the other two words in the Bible text "for him".
