It usually means a material made from two or more rather different materials. For example, fiberglass reinforced polyester. Wood is a natural composite, having cellulose fibers and lignin 'resin' binding them. In some ways cermets can be considered composite. I bet wikipedia has a lot more info, as well as useful links. Most amusingly the system asterisks out the latin word for 'with' as it is used as a variant of 'come' by ignorant people....<br><b>References : </b><br> "Composite" comes from the Latin words "cum" [with] and "possuit" [having been put]; a composite is a material put together.
