Morphology

subduct = duct (semi-transparent) = sub + duct

The morphological parts ('sub-' + 'duct') yield the idea of 'leading away' (removing), but the verb 'subduct' in this sense is rare and relies on knowing related verbs like 'deduct' or 'reduce'.

Etymology

Subduct The word subduct is built from sub- 'under' and -duct 'to lead', so it can also mean 'lead away' or take away from a total, much like the common word deduct. That's why in accounting to subduct an amount is to remove it from the total.
