Morphology

subzone = zone (transparent) = sub + zone

Meaning is directly derived from the productive prefix 'sub-' (smaller/under/secondary) plus 'zone' indicating a subordinate or smaller area within a zone.

Etymology

Subzone joins the part sub- meaning 'under' or 'below' and zone meaning 'area' or 'belt', like in submarine where sub- means 'under' the sea. So a subzone is a smaller or separate area inside a larger zone.
