记忆联想：把institute拆成in(进入)+stitute(站立)，想象自己站进新岗位，着手‘创立、开始’一件事。
语域：formal 常见场景：legal、administrative、formal writing institute 作动词时属于正式用语，多用于法律、行政或学术语境，表示“开始、发起、创立”等意，例如 institute proceedings（提起诉讼）。日常口语中不常用。
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.
