instinctadj.

/ɪnˈstɪŋkt/

Etymology: < Latin instinctus, past participle of instinguĕre (see instinct n.): compare obsolete French instinct impelled, constrained (16th cent. in Godefroy). Used in sense 2 by Milton, Swift, and Pope; but characterized by Johnson in 1755 as ‘a word not in use’, and so in dictionaries down to Craig 1847; revived about 1800 in sense 3, which is apparently due to a misunderstanding of the meaning in Milton, Swift, and Pope.

Usually const. as past participle.
