覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
instated は、人が組織の役職や地位に正式に就けられた場面を思い浮かべると覚えやすい語です。was instated as chair のように、as の後に役職を置く形がよく合います。単に仕事を始めたのではなく、公式な任命を受けたという点が重要です。
Think of `state` as an official condition or position. `Instated` suggests putting someone or something into an official state, not just starting it. Remember phrases like `a new policy was instated` or `he was instated as director`, where there is a formal decision.

instated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
instated は in-『中へ』と、state や status に通じる語根 stat- から出た instate の過去分詞です。state や status と同根で、ラテン語 stare『立つ』にさかのぼり、『正式な位置に立たせる』感覚が『就任させる・制定する』に結びつきます。
Instated is the past form of instate, built from in- "into" and state. State is related to status and goes back to Latin stare, "to stand." The word developed from the idea of placing someone into an established standing or position.
