Noun

IPA: /piːˈlas.trum/ [Classical-Latin], [piːˈɫ̪äs̠t̪rʊ̃ˑ] [Classical-Latin], /piˈlas.trum/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [piˈläst̪rum] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From pīla (“pillar”) + -astrum (“quality-reducing suffix”), thus meaning roughly "incomplete pillar", as pilasters lack the full volume of the element they represent.
