subclassify = classify (semi-transparent) = sub + class + ify

The form is built transparently from classify, but the programming sense is technical and not fully inferable for every learner.

Etymology

Subclassify is made from sub- meaning 'under' and classify meaning 'to put into a class'. In programming, to subclassify is to make a new class 'under' an existing one that keeps the original's features so you do not repeat the same code.
