synthesized

Made from parts

Synthesized describes something created by combining elements into a unified whole.

In chemistry, a synthesized compound is produced artificially rather than extracted from nature: synthesized hormones, synthesized fibers.

In music, synthesized sound is generated electronically rather than by acoustic instruments: The track features synthesized drums and bass.

More broadly, synthesized information or ideas have been assembled from multiple sources into a coherent form.
