Morphology

subsegment = segment (transparent) = sub + segment

The verb is transparently formed by adding the prefix 'sub-' (smaller/under) to the verb 'segment', meaning 'to divide into smaller segments'.

Etymology

Subsegment as a verb comes from the same parts: sub- 'under' and segment 'part', so to subsegment something is to divide it into smaller 'parts' inside a bigger segment.
