Word Origin

• Middle English (originally meaning to appoint someone to a position): from Latin institut- ‘established’, from the verb instituere, from in- ‘in, towards’ + statuere ‘set up’. The noun is from Latin institutum ‘something designed, precept’, neuter past participle of instituere; the current sense dates from the early 19th cent.
