rococo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fancy' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'business twice supports europe hub' is the wordplay.
'business' becomes 'co' (short for company).
'twice' shows that letters should be duplicated.
'supports' means one lot of letters go next to another (bottom letters provide a support for the top ones).
'europe hub' becomes 'ro' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'co' doubled is 'coco'.
'coco' put after 'ro' is 'ROCOCO'.

Can you help me to learn more?
