Conversation

I was looking at the data structure for our project, and I noticed a subblock that might need some adjustments.

Oh really? What did you find about the subblock?

It seems like it's not aligned with the main block's parameters.

Got it! We should definitely fix that before moving forward.

Root Explanation

Subblock → It is formed from "sub-" (meaning under or below) and "block" (from Old French *bloc*, meaning a solid piece of material). The word "subblock" refers to a block that is situated under or below another block.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'under' ('sub-') another 'block' — that's why a subblock is a block located beneath another.
