Morphology

submarshal = marshal (transparent) = sub + marshal

Formed by the productive prefix 'sub-' meaning subordinate/assistant attached to 'marshal', so the subordinate/assistant meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Submarshal comes from sub- and marshal. sub- means 'under', and marshal once meant a 'horse servant' and later a leader who helps organize people, so a submarshal is the marshal's assistant who helps arrange troops or events.
