Etymology
Instrucțiune came into Romanian from French instruction, which traces back to Latin instructio, instructionis. That noun derives from the verb instruere, formed from in- ('into') and struere ('to build, arrange, pile up'). The sense shifted from 'building up' to 'arranging knowledge' and finally to 'a direction telling someone what to do'.
