よくある間違い：
Learners often confuse "pier" with the verb "peer" because they sound the same. "Pier" is a noun for a structure over water, while "peer" is a verb meaning to look closely. Learners may also mix up "pier" with "port" or "harbor"; a port or harbor is a whole area for ships, while a pier is one long structure that sticks out into the water.

よくある間違い：
Learners may think this "pier" always has water around it because they know the water-related sense. In engineering and architecture, a pier can be on land and is simply a heavy vertical support. It is also sometimes confused with "column" or "pillar"; those can be more decorative or slender, while a pier is usually thicker and mainly structural.
意味
vertical support for bridge or wall
コロケーション
bridge pier
|concrete pier
|supporting pier
|central pier
|load-bearing pier
|pier foundation
類義語
pillar (A more general word for a tall vertical support; a pier is often wider and specifically architectural or structural.)
|
column (Often suggests a more slender, sometimes decorative support; "pier" is usually more massive and purely structural.)
|
abutment (A support at the end of a bridge or arch; a pier is typically an intermediate support, not at the very end.)
対義語
span (The part of a bridge that stretches between piers or supports, contrasting with the supporting pier itself.)
