Morphology

subdimension = dimension (transparent) = sub + dimension

The prefix 'sub-' clearly indicates a secondary or subordinate aspect of the base word 'dimension'.

Etymology

Subdimension joins sub- meaning 'under' or 'below', as in submarine or subway, and dimension meaning 'a part or side'. So a subdimension is a smaller or secondary part of a larger dimension, a detail that helps explain the whole.
