'support for the scaffold's' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'turn origins of lily the pink boosted university visits' is the wordplay.
'turn' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'origins of' suggests taking the first letters.
'boosted' becomes 'og' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'visits' indicates putting letters inside (visit can mean to go into).
The first letters of 'lily the pink' is 'ltp'.
'ltp' reversed gives 'ptl'.
'ptl'+'og'='ptlog'
'ptlog' enclosing 'u' is 'PUTLOG'.
