Word origin
The word 'subject' originated from the Latin word 'subiectus', which means 'lying beneath'. In English, the word evolved to mean a branch of study or a topic of discussion. Over time, its usage expanded to include topics of conversation and the act of causing someone to experience something. The word has been in use for centuries and remains an important part of communication and education.
