Etymology
1. c.1325, "to establish in office, appoint," from L. institutus, pp. of instituere "to set up," from in- "in" + statuere "establish, to cause to stand" (see statute). General sense of "set up, found, introduce" first attested 1483. The noun sense of "organization, society" is from 1828, borrowed from Fr. Institut national des Sciences et des Arts, established 1795 to replace the royal academies.
2. From Middle English, from Latin īnstitūtus, past participle of īnstituō (“to set up, place upon, purpose, begin, institute”), from in (“in, on”) + statuō (“set up, establish”).
