structure: [15] Structure comes via Old French structure from Latin structūra, a noun derived from the past participle of struere ‘build’. Other English words from the same source are construct, construe, destroy, destruction, instruct, and obstruct [17].
=> construct, construe, destroy, destruction, instruct, obstruct, strain

structure (n.)

mid-15c., "action or process of building or construction;" 1610s, "that which is constructed, a building or edifice;" from Latin structura "a fitting together, adjustment; a building, mode of building;" figuratively, "arrangement, order," from structus, past participle of struere "to pile, place together, heap up; build, assemble, arrange, make by joining together," related to strues "heap," from PIE *stere- "to spread, extend, stretch out."
