Etymology: This is an inflected form, so the answer is brief: "consisted" is the past tense and past participle of "consist," which means "to be composed of" or "to be made up of," as in "the team consisted of five people." The verb comes from Middle French "consister," which in turn descends from Latin "consistere," the Latin verb "consistō" meaning "stand together," "stop," or "become firm." It is built from "com-" ("together") and "sistō" ("to cause to stand"), so the underlying picture is of parts standing side by side to form a whole.
