Morphology

subjunction = subjoin (semi-transparent) = sub + junct + ion

The noun is formed from the verb 'subjoin' with a nominalizing suffix '-ion', but the orthographic alternation (join → junct) and low frequency make the relation only partially obvious to learners.

Etymology

The word subjunction comes from the Latin parts sub- 'under' and jungere 'to join', the same root as in join and junction. So, subjunction means 'joining' or adding something to what is already there.
