stare to stand: cf. F. consister. See {Stand}.]

body composed of parts in union or connection; to hold
together; to be; to exist; to subsist; to be supported and
maintained.

Syn: {To Consist}, {Consist of}, {Consist in}.

Usage: The verb consist is employed chiefly for two purposes,
which are marked and distinguished by the prepositions
used. When we wish to indicate the parts which unite
to compose a thing, we use of; as when we say,
"Macaulay's Miscellanies consist chiefly of articles
which were first published in the Edinburgh Review."
When we wish to indicate the true nature of a thing,
or that on which it depends, we use in; as, "There are
some artists whose skill consists in a certain manner
which they have affected." "Our safety consists in a
strict adherence to duty."
[1913 Webster] Consistence
