Where did this word come from? And what does it mean? How right? Institution or institution? In order to correctly answer this question, you need to return to the origin of this word.

Over time, the word "institution" appeared - as some kind of social institution that has certain powers.

Spelling
"Institution" or "institution" should be written in Russian? After all, this word has no verification. It would seem that our language does not tolerate a large number of consonants at the beginning of words - therefore, in colloquial speech, the word "institution" is increasingly heard.
But the rules of the Russian language tell us that there can be no doubt - an “institution” or an “institution”. Only the version of “institution” is considered correct - without any additional “e”. There is no verification word, so the spelling should be remembered. It is in this form that we meet this word in modern articles and official documents, and this is how it is written in historical sources.
The emergence of institutions
The emergence of institutions can be considered on the example of the development of cultural institutions. The first resting places for the wealthy classes were created in 1770.
Establishments for people of the upper class were copied from similar English institutions. It is no coincidence that the first club in Russia created for entertainment and recreation was the English Club. He was very popular among poets and writers of that time: N. M Karamzin, V. A. Zhukovsky, I. A Krylov were regulars of the English club. In historical perspective, A.S. Pushkin should be considered the most famous member of the English club. Institutions for persons of noble estates quickly spread to other cities of the Russian province. Later, similar ones began to be created for representatives of other classes - merchants, officers. In the middle of the 19th century, the first institution arose, uniting people not by classes, but by interests - the Chess Club.
Institutions for the people
In the wake of populism, the first institutions intended for the general public appeared. The so-called folk houses were intended for the general population. An ordinary folk house in a Russian county town is a library with a reading room, a room for lectures, and a Sunday school. Such an “institution,” or “institution,” often became the site of organizing exhibitions, selling books, and various social events. Such houses were created at the expense of zemstvos, private patrons, organizations of local self-government. At the turn of the XIX-XX centuries, people's houses began to play a prominent role in education - for example, the People’s House of the Kharkov Literacy Society.
After the October Revolution, people's houses and work clubs gained new opportunities in the dissemination of public education. After the end of the Civil War, the efforts of the new government were aimed at the distribution of people's houses in all corners of the country. For difficult and remote places propaganda trains and steamboats were formed.
Public libraries
Public libraries were no less popular among people. The first famous Slavic library was collected by Yaroslav the Wise. In the XV-XVII centuries, libraries appear at large monasteries and the royal court. After the invention of printing, libraries became an indispensable attribute of the homes of nobles and clergy. In 1714, by decree of Peter the Great , the first library of secular and spiritual literature was formed.
In the 19th century, municipal libraries arose with the establishment of higher and secondary educational institutions. After 1917, special attention was paid to the development of municipal libraries.
During the Great Patriotic War, more than 40 thousand folk clubs and libraries were destroyed, but after the end of hostilities the network of educational institutions was quickly restored and expanded.
Both municipal and state institutions quickly found their regular visitors. So in colloquial speech these very “institutions” appeared that are so difficult to spell and pronounce so incorrectly.
We think that from now on it would never occur to anyone to doubt the spelling of this word. Doubts of the type “institution” or “institution” should no longer worry anyone - there are dictionaries in paper and electronic form for checking spelling.
