Shingle as a thin piece of wood derives from 1200, scincles, from Latin scindula. The meaning you are referring to is shingle as a small signboard or nameplate fixed outside the office of a doctor, lawyer and appears in American English in 1842. As u/TechnologyEvangelist states, the story goes that a shake (wooden) shingle was used to make the sign. The source for the date and reference is The American Language Supplement by H.L. Menken - 1945
"Instability" and "unstable" have the same root, the Latin adjective "stabilis" (from the verb "stare," to stay). Like /u/probably-yeah said, the prefixes "in" and "un" came to English from different sources: "in" is French/Latin and "un" is Germanic.
English spelling really didn't standardize until the advent of the printing press, and then the choices were made by book publishers and were often arbitrary. 'Correct' English spelling was developed piecemeal, and various attempts to streamline it over the centuries have failed. Source: Bill Bryson, The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way.
