Would "institution" be ok for ινστιτούτο? I feel like both terms are used in English with only a shade of difference in meaning (that is often ignored).
Why isn't the adjective ending o to agree with the noun
Agreement doesn't always mean that the ending is the same.
Most adjectives have three endings: separate ones for masculine, feminine, and neuter, usually -ος -η -ο, but can also be e.g. -ων -ουσα -ον
But some adjectives have two endings; this can be e.g. -ος -ος -ο or -ης -ης -ες.
διμοφιλής belongs to the -ης -ης -ες class and has -ες in the neuter.
