Morphology
structurally = structural (transparent) = structur + ally
The adverb 'structurally' is transparently derived from the adjective 'structural' by adding the suffix '-ly'.
Etymology
The word structurally comes from structure and an old Latin part stru- that means 'to build'. You can see the same root in construct ('to build'), so structurally means 'in the way something is built'.
