compositionally
Regarding structural makeup
Compositionally describes how something is arranged or structured in terms of its parts or elements.
The word appears most often in discussions of music, visual art, and chemistry, where the arrangement of components matters: The piece is compositionally complex, with multiple themes interwoven throughout.
In scientific contexts, it may refer to the chemical or material makeup of something: The two alloys differ compositionally but behave similarly under stress.
