Structure is a noun that refers to the arrangement or organization of parts or elements within a whole. It is the framework or underlying system that provides stability, coherence, and functionality to something. The term can be used to describe physical objects, such as buildings, bridges, or biological organisms, as well as abstract concepts, like organizations, systems, or theories.
In the context of physical structures, it commonly refers to the design or composition that gives form and support to an object. For instance, the structure of a building involves its walls, floors, and beams that provide a stable framework. In the context of biological structures, it refers to the organization of cells, tissues, and organs that form an organism.
In a more abstract sense, structure refers to the overall organization or arrangement of elements in a system or concept. For example, the structure of a government or company refers to its hierarchical organization and divisions of power and responsibilities. In literature or art, the structure can involve the organization of plot, themes, or motifs that give coherence to a story or artwork.
In general, the concept of structure denotes the underlying order or arrangement that gives form, coherence, and stability to something. It encompasses the arrangement of components, the relationships between them, and the overall framework that defines their interactions and purpose.

The word "structure" comes from the Latin word "structura", which is derived from the verb "struere" meaning "to build" or "to arrange". The term entered English in the 15th century and originally referred to the action or process of constructing or building. Over time, it also acquired the sense of "arrangement", both in terms of physical organization and conceptual layout.
