SubRip singular

SubRips plural

Morphology

SubRip = subtitle + rip (semi-transparent) = sub + rip

The coined name suggests 'ripping subtitles', but that directly points more to subtitle-extraction software than to a specific subtitle file format.

Etymology

SubRip comes from Sub- meaning 'subtitle' and rip meaning to 'take out' or 'copy from a disc', so the name fits a simple subtitle file (usually with the .srt extension) that was 'ripped' out of a video.
