Morphology

subterrene = terrene (transparent) = sub + terrene

This sense is a direct compositional reading of 'sub' + 'terrene' as something under the earth.

Etymology

Subterrene comes from sub- 'under' and terra 'earth', so it can also mean the hidden world beneath our feet. In old stories a subterrene is the underground region where strange beings or lost cities can be found.
