To teach, provide information, or give detailed directions about how to do something. Can also mean to give formal orders or commands in official contexts.
From Latin 'instructus,' from 'in-' (in) and 'struere' (to build). Originally meant 'to build into' someone's mind, emphasizing education as construction of knowledge rather than mere information transfer.
Instruction literally means 'building into' someone's mind - every time you teach, you're an architect of understanding, constructing knowledge brick by brick in another person's consciousness!
