Root Explanation

Sublunar → It is formed from "sub-" (meaning under or below) and "luna" (from Latin, meaning moon). The word "sublunar" refers to things that are situated beneath the moon, often used to describe the earthly realm as opposed to the celestial.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'under' ('sub-') the 'moon' ('luna') — that's why sublunar refers to things that are below the moon.
