Literary notes about instated (AI summary)
"Instated" in literature frequently conveys a formal conferral of authority or position, whether by restoring someone to a former role or by establishing a new one. It appears in contexts that detail ceremonial investitures (for instance, being instated in an office [1, 2]) as well as in situations where personal qualities such as courage or favor are restored (as when courage is re-instated [3], or a character is re-instated in society [4]). The term is used both in political and social narratives—illustrated by references to reinstated magistrates and institutions regaining their positions [5, 6, 7]—and in more metaphorical applications that evoke transformation and renewed legitimacy [8, 9].
