structurally

/ˈstɹəktʃɝəɫi/ adv C1 ✓

In terms of structure.

Word Origin Structurally comes from Latin struere 'to build, pile up.' The breakdown struct+ure+al+ly shows the layers: struct (build), -ure (result), -al (pertaining to), -ly (adverb). The same root gives us construct (build together), destruct (unbuild), and instruct (build into the mind). So structurally means 'in terms of how something is built.'
