Usage
According to traditional usage, comprise means 'consist of' and should not be used to mean 'constitute or make up (a whole)'. However, a passive use of comprise is fast becoming part of standard English: this use (as in the country is comprised of twenty states) is more or less synonymous with the traditional active sense (as in the country comprises twenty states).
