What is a word for “supercomponent”, similar to “subcomponent”, but in the opposite direction?

If you have a car which is composed of some seats that 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 I must have asked myself?

How do I describe what I see as subcomponents

of a ” Seat”? (Made up a few lines), How do I represent this?

In manufacturing, components are combined to create an assembly. How do I learn to build a machines? You will see this word on parts diagrams and other documentation about how to construct a machine. In actually, a component is an assembly of its subcomponents. For example, most cars have what is called a tail light assembly which consists of socket, reflector, and lens. The “seat” in your list would be ordered from a supplier or supplier of consumer goods as a “set assembly” to distinguish it from the “seat frame”.

It’s a simple fact that a car is associated with a tail light. Yet I still have many of these pictured in the photos. In manufacturing, you might call the car a product or a machine.

For your list, I would use or part of Seat seats

  has subcomponents: - Fabric - Cushion - Frame Car Seat is used in: Car - Desk - Airplane Or  

just say a seat is a subcomponent of a car.

Try construction.

A component is literally a constituent part of a thing ( Merriam-Webster ). What are some of the main components of a component? Is a supercomponent normal? When looking for a word that creates how something is built from components, what should it be?

How is construction used in English?

1 : to form or make ; car (in case of a car) are made

of materials and fittings : so the car is a construction. Similarly, your three-part breakdown would involve subcomponents, components, and constructions, the last denoting what components can be used to build.

Other words to try include assembly and assemblage.
