consist
Be made of
Consist means to be composed of or made up of: The committee consists of twelve members.
What something consists in is its essential nature: Happiness consists in contentment, not wealth.
The word almost always appears with "of" or "in"—rarely alone.
Consist emphasizes the parts that make up a whole rather than the whole itself.
