Derived from the prefix 'sub-' (below, beneath) combined with 'woofer', an expressive term coined in the mid-20th century for a loudspeaker designed to reproduce low-frequency audio sounds (bass), echoing the deep bark of a large dog in contrast to a 'tweeter'. It entered mainstream technical and consumer electronics vocabulary during the rise of high-fidelity stereo systems and home theaters.
