Etymology

The word succubus comes from the Latin parts sub- 'under' and cubare 'to lie', so it originally meant 'one who lies under'. A helpful memory is to think of sub- as in submarine meaning 'under' and cubare like in incubate meaning 'to sit on eggs', which is why a succubus was thought to be a female spirit who lies with men while they sleep.
