Morphology

vascular + structure

The phrase is a direct adjective+noun composition: 'vascular' (having blood vessels) modifies 'structure' (an assembly or tissue), so the meaning 'a structure containing blood vessels' follows straightforwardly from the parts. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and thus transparent to learners who already know both constituent words, despite 'vascular' being somewhat technical.

Etymology

The phrase vascular structure creates a simple picture: vascular means 'blood vessels' or small tubes that carry blood and structure means a built part or network, like the pipes in a house. So it means 'a tissue or organ' made up of those blood vessels.
