Etymology

From in- +‎ *staurō, from Proto-Indo-European *steh₂u-ro-, from *steh₂-. The first meaning, which was also continued in the Romance languages, was "erect", "establish". The meaning "renew" arose by applying this meaning to a structure whose stability has ceased or to an event which has ended. Compare German in Stand setzen (to repair), literally "to set in stand". A semantical influence of restaurō (to restore) is also likely.

Pronunciation

    • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.63-64:
      īnstauratque diem dōnīs, pecudumque reclūsīs
      pectoribus inhiāns spīrantia cōnsulit exta.
      And repeats with offerings day. And poring over the still-throbbing entrails within the just-opened breasts of animals, she takes counsel .
      (Dido — acting as a haruspex — keeps re-enacting the extispicium as if there had been an error, a practice known as instauratio.)
