Pronunciation & Spelling
constitute, substitute, destitute, and prostitute share the spelling ending -stitute and, in General American, end with the same /ˌtuːt/ sound as institute, so they are good sound matches. Do not confuse institute with institution /ˌɪnstəˈtuːʃən/, which looks similar at the start but has a different final sound and stress.
