Morphology

instalike = like (semi-transparent) = insta + like

The prefix 'insta' suggests immediacy, but the specific social media context is not fully transparent to all learners.

Etymology

Instalike is a modern blend of instant ('happening immediately') and like ('to show approval'), used on social media where people click 'like' right away. So to instalike something is to give it a quick 'like' as soon as you see it.
