The invisible scaffolding holding up everything that looks like it stands alone.
means To hold something up, keep it going, or back it with strength, money, or belief so it doesn't fall.
from From Latin 'supportare,' to carry or bring up — 'sub-' (up, from below) plus 'portare' (to carry), the same 'portare' that gives us porter, portable, and import. The literal image is a thing carried from underneath; it slipped into English through Old French 'supporter' and gradually moved from physical bearing-up to the figures we lean on emotionally, financially, and ideologically.
