Morphology
subordinationist = subordination (transparent) = subordination + ist
The suffix '-ist' straightforwardly forms an agent or adherent from the noun 'subordination', so the meaning ('one who espouses subordination') is directly predictable.
Etymology
Subordinationist comes from the parts sub- meaning 'under' and ordinate meaning 'order', the same root you find in order. So a subordinationist view or policy describes putting people or things 'under' others, ranking them lower.
