struct

Where it comes from

Abbreviation of structure, used as a keyword in the C programming language and its descendants.

noun structs

A data structure, especially one that serves to group a number of fields (in contrast to an object-oriented class with methods) or one that is passed by value rather than by reference. Note that because structs are value types, the new operator does not work in the same way as it does for classes and other reference types.
Similar: structure, record
