Morphology
The meaning 'the way in which words, phrases, and clauses are arranged to form sentences' is directly derivable from combining 'sentence' (a grammatical unit) with 'structure' (how parts are organized). This is a straightforward, compositional noun-noun combination common across languages and in English, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The phrase sentence structure uses the image of a building: a sentence is made of words like bricks, and the structure is how they are put together. So sentence structure means 'the way words are put together' to make clear sentences.
