Subject: A.Word.A.Day--instauration
instauration (in-sto-RAY-shuhn) noun
1. Renewal; renovation; restoration.
2. An act of founding or establishing something.
[From Latin instauration-, from instauratio, from instaurare (to renew).
Other words derived from the same root are: store, restore, and stow.]
Der Quibblemeister says Def.1 is in error. How can you
renew something until after it has been started?
