Definition: Instr is a noun that means "to make or cause to be made." It can also mean "to bring into existence" or "to take shape," depending on the context. In context where instr is used, it refers to a process or method of doing something by which some other object (like another person) acts as a mediator, or influences, so that one thing (the object you are trying to do) happens without your direct involvement. For example, if someone says "I told the printer to print a certain sheet," they mean that the person has put in an instruction to have the printer make the paper for them. So instr is like saying, "If I tell my daughter to go outside and play with her dog, she'll do it without me asking."
