Morphology

subsegment = segment (transparent) = sub + segment

The meaning 'a smaller part within a larger segment' is directly derived from the prefix 'sub-' indicating 'under' or 'below' and the root 'segment'.

Etymology

Subsegment is made from the prefix sub- meaning 'under' or 'below' and segment meaning 'part', so a subsegment is a smaller 'part' inside a larger segment.
