root, major third, fifth, minor seventh
A major triad with a minor seventh on top, and the tritone between that third and that seventh is what makes the chord restless. It is the engine of a cadence: the V that wants to become the I. The ninths, elevenths and thirteenths here are the same chord with more of the scale showing.
