Root Explanation

Sublevel → It is formed from "sub-" (meaning under or below) and "level" (from Old French *level*, meaning a flat or even surface). The word "sublevel" refers to a level that is situated below another level.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'under' ('sub-') a flat surface ('level') — that's why sublevel means a level below another.
