Forms: late Middle English–1500s subalternat, late Middle English– subalternate.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Perhaps also partly formed within English, by derivation; perhaps modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: Latin subalternatus ; sub- prefix, alternate adj.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin subalternatus (in logic) subordinate (from 1267 in British sources), (in medical context) subordinate (1363 in Chauliac), use as adjective of past participle of subalternare subaltern v. In sense A. 4 probably showing an independent formation < sub- prefix + alternate adj., perhaps after post-classical Latin subalternus (1788 or earlier in this sense; compare quot. 1808 at subalternately adv. 3). Compare subaltern adj., subaltern n.

A. adj.

a. Subordinate, inferior, or subservient (to); = subaltern adj. 2. Now chiefly U.S. subalternate together (in quot. ?a1425): (of two or more things) inferior or subordinate to one another in turn.
