Etymology
Structuralist comes from structure, from the old root stru- meaning 'to build', with -al ('related to') and -ist ('one who studies'). Think of a house frame: a structuralist approach looks for the hidden 'built' frame or pattern under language, culture, or stories, so the word means 'about studying systems and relationships'.
