Etymology
Instruction comes from a Latin verb made of in- 'into' and struere 'to build' or 'arrange', the same root you see in structure and construct. Think of instructions as steps that 'build' something by putting parts in the right order, so an instruction is a clear explanation or order that tells you how to do something.
