Morphology

submaster = master (transparent) = sub + master

The prefix 'sub-' meaning 'under' or 'secondary' combines directly with 'master' to indicate a subordinate or secondary master control, a straightforward, productive meaning.

Etymology

The word submaster starts with sub- meaning 'under' or 'below' and ends with master meaning 'the main person in charge'. So a submaster is a helper or a smaller control under the main master, which is why it refers to an assistant or a secondary control in places like sound mixing or a school.
