Hide structure from one following advice (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tipi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hide structure' is the definition.
'tipi' can be an answer for 'structure' (tipi is a kind of structure). I'm not sure about the 'hide' bit.

'one following advice' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'following' says to put letters next to each other.
'advice' becomes 'tip' (a tip is a piece of advice).
'i' after 'tip' is 'TIPI'.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tipi that I've seen before include "Tent" , "home to Delaware, perhaps" .)
