Etymology
'instructor-like' originates from the English word 'instructor,' combined with the suffix '-like,' which means 'resembling or characteristic of.'
'instructor' comes from the Latin word 'instructus,' meaning 'to build or prepare,' and '-like' is a common English suffix used to form adjectives.
Initially, 'instructor' meant 'one who builds or prepares,' but over time it evolved to mean 'one who teaches or educates.' The suffix '-like' adds the meaning of 'resembling an instructor.'
