Instruments are called instrum-ments because they are meant to be strummed . . . get it?

Actually the word instrument just means a tool of some kind. "The travelling doctor had his surgical instruments in a case." "A transit is an instrument used by surveyors." "He was hit on the head with a blunt instrument." A tool used by a musician to make music is also an instrument.
