The polite middle ground between cluelessness and confidently breaking everything yourself.
means A step-by-step set of instructions or a guided lesson designed to teach you how to do or use something.
from From Latin 'tutor,' meaning 'guardian, watcher, protector,' built on 'tueri' — to watch over or look after. The same root gives us 'tutor,' the one-on-one teacher; 'tutorial' began life as an adjective meaning 'of or relating to a tutor' before settling into its modern noun form for a structured lesson — the watchful guardian, now in document or video form.
