Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the prefix sub- (meaning 'under' or 'below') combined with lessee, which originates from Anglo-French and Old French lesser (to let or lease). The term emerged in legal terminology during the 17th century to designate a party who holds a lease from a tenant rather than directly from the primary owner.
