Etymology

The word 'subcurrent' originated in the mid 19th century, combining the prefix 'sub-' meaning 'under' and 'current'. It has been primarily used in the field of oceanography to describe hidden currents beneath the surface of the ocean. The study of subcurrents has provided valuable insights into ocean circulation patterns and their impact on marine ecosystems.
