Root Explanation

Subworld → It is formed from "sub-" (meaning under or below) and "world" (from Old English "weorold", meaning the earthly realm or human existence). The word "subworld" refers to a realm or existence that is beneath or subordinate to the main world.

Memory Tip

Think of 'sub-' meaning 'under' and 'world' referring to our earthly existence — so a subworld is an existence that lies beneath the main world.
