Etymology
The word 'sub' originated from the Latin word 'subtrahere', which means 'to take away'. It has been used in mathematics for centuries to denote the operation of subtraction. The symbol '-' is commonly used to represent the subtraction operation, and 'sub' is often used as a shorthand term for this operation.
