Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; originally modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: sub- prefix, patent adj.

Etymology: < sub- prefix + patent adj., originally after scientific Latin subpatens (1794 or earlier), specific use of present participle of classical Latin subpatēre to lie open or outspread (2nd cent. a.d. in Apuleius).

1. Botany. Of a part of a plant: somewhat or partially patent (patent adj. 7b).

1818 W. J. Hooker & T. Taylor Muscologia Britannica 115 Leaves erect, appressed, or subpatent, lanceolate, acute, serrated, especially towards the extremity, the margins recurved.

1875 Gardeners’ Chron. 9 Oct. 452/3 The dark purple-black double corona is included in the very short tube of the corolla, consisting of an outer corona of five subpatent obtuse bifid lobes.

1949 Kew Bull. 4 50 This form differs from the described varieties of C[odonocephalum] lappaceum in the smaller less globose capitula..with the spines of the involucral bracts subpatent and erect.

2005 Folia Geobotanica 40 428/3 Lower leaf surface often slightly greyish, densely hairy, with subpatent intertwined hairs.

1926 Q. Rev. Biol. 1 399/2 In many infections the patent period is followed by a Subpatent Period of indefinite length.

1947 Ann. Rev. Microbiol. 1 49 Subpatent infections persisted in some individual ducks for as long as eight months after they had been inoculated with sporozoites.

1974 J. R. Baker in Trypanosomiasis & Leishmaniasis: Ciba Found. Symp. 1973 32 Parasites may often be subpatent, that is, too scanty to be detected by microscopic examination.

2005 S. Wolfe-Coote et al. Lab. Primate vi. 95/2 A clinically silent ‘indeterminate’ phase follows, with sub-patent parasitemias.
