Root Explanation

Subsegment → It is formed from "sub-" (meaning under or below) and "segment" (from Latin "segmentum", meaning a part or section). The word "subsegment" refers to a part or section that is under or a subdivision of a larger segment.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is a smaller part 'under' a larger section — 'sub-' means under, and 'segment' refers to a part.
