the word instruct means? Answered

define: instruct
# teach: impart skills or knowledge to
# give instructions or directions for some task
# make aware of

You can construct, you can destruct, and/or you can tell someone else how to do it and instruct.

To tell somebody how.

Beyond the definition, which is fairly obvious in context, I prefer the ORIGIN.

instruct
