Etymology

The word 'subjoin' originates from the Latin word 'subjungere,' which is a combination of 'sub-' meaning 'under' or 'below,' and 'jungere' meaning 'to join.' This notion of joining something underneath or adding it has persisted through its transition into Middle English and then modern English. The prefix 'sub-' indicates a sense of addition that is secondary rather than primary, emphasizing that the information being added is supplementary. Usage of 'subjoin' can often be seen in legal documents and academic papers where clarity and precision in the communication of ideas are paramount. The term has evolved over centuries but retains a formal tone, often reserved for contexts that require meticulous attention to structure and formality in written communication.
