Compare post-classical Latin substractio removal, withdrawal, departure (14th cent. in British sources). Compare also slightly later substract v. In some modern uses perhaps a typographical error for subtraction n.

Now chiefly nonstandard and rare.

1. The withdrawal or withholding of something beneficial or useful, or to which another person is entitled; (also) a person's withdrawing from a place. Cf. subtraction n. 3. Now historical.
