覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Benelux は Belgium の Be、Netherlands の Ne、Luxembourg の Lux を順に結んだ合成名。Benelux countries、Benelux region、Benelux union のように、ベルギー・オランダ・ルクセンブルク三国を一まとまりとして扱う表現で使う。EU全体ではなく、この三国だけと覚える。
Decode Benelux directly from its three members: Be from Belgium, Ne from the Netherlands, and Lux from Luxembourg. Reading the parts in order gives the full three-country grouping. The word commonly appears in combinations such as the Benelux countries, the Benelux region, and the Benelux Union. Picture these neighboring European states cooperating on trade and movement. Keep the scope precise: Benelux is connected with wider European integration, but the name itself refers only to Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

Belgium（ベルギー）、Netherlands（オランダ）、Luxembourg（ルクセンブルク）の頭文字を組み合わせた造語。1944年の三国関税同盟締結時に作られた合成語で、地域経済統合の象徴として定着した。
Benelux is a blend formed from the opening elements of Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg: Be, Ne, and Lux.
