English term or phrase: humpty
what is the meanaing of this "humpty"? If it is coming from Humpty-Dumpty, then what does it mean?

At a summit in Deauville in September 2010, they announced that the holders of sovereign bonds in bailed-out countries would lose some of their money. The result was a severe worsening of the euro crisis, as investors began to demand much higher rates to lend to risky-seeming countries, such as Italy or Spain. So why – after all the painstaking efforts to put euro-humpty back together again – have European leaders taken such a gamble in Cyprus? The answer is that they too are out of credit – political credit.

disagree  Daniel Grigoras: hopa mitică nu indică idee de fragilitate pentru că revine la poziția inițială ori de câte ori e "dat peste cap", pe când "humpty" e simbolul fragilității

fragil


Explanation:
Aș traduce: "Așadar, de ce liderii europeni -- după toate eforturile intense depuse pentru consolidarea fragilului euro -- și-au asumat un asemnea risc în Cipru." (more or less)
