Etymology
The word subject as an adjective comes from the Latin parts sub- ('under') and -ject ('throw'), like the -ject in project. Imagine something 'thrown under' a rule or condition, so it is under that control, and that's why 'subject to' means 'likely to be affected by' or 'depends on' something.
