I was looking for something more complicated - I should have looked up MANTEAU!
"manteau" cognate with "mantle".
.....but in French it means 'coat'
Question Author
Is instruction = word all right as a clue?
Yes, it works fine.
'Word' is in my Concise Oxford Thesaurus: instruction, order, command

Thanks all
...although not in Chambers.
