Etymology

Latest comment: 12 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The phrase "Three Pillars of ..." probably refers to some common idiom, or familar phrase, otherwise I doubt it would have been used. Does anyone know what is the origin of this phrase? Nyh (talk) 11:41, 22 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

More important that the term's etymology is its meaning which isn't explained in the article. Pillar has a concrete meaning as well as a loose, metaphorical one, but these EU-institutions are much more substantial than that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 09:47, 6 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
