inst
Short for establishment
Inst is an informal written abbreviation for instant, institute, or institution, appearing mainly in business correspondence and formal documents: 14th inst. (meaning the 14th of the current month), the Smithsonian Inst.
The "current month" sense is old-fashioned commercial usage, now rarely seen outside legal or historical contexts.
