Is there a word for “Supercomponent”, similar to “Subcomponent”, but in the other direction?
So say you have a car, which is composed of some seats, which are composed of some fabric
You could say that the Seats are a subcomponent of the Car
and the Fabric is a subcomponent of the Seat
But is there a way to describe the relationship in the other direction?
Like "The Car is a supercomponent of a Seat"
Specifically, I am trying to list "Subcomponents" as well as "Supercomponents", and want to describe the lists accurately
Here is an example of the two lists, if I'm looking at a Seat:
Subcomponents:
- Fabric
- Cushion
- Frame
Supercomponents:
- Car
- Desk
- Airplane
I'm just wondering if there is another, better word for "Supercomponents"
