Etymology

The word 'subsumed' comes from the Latin 'subsumere', which means 'to take up under'. It is derived from 'sub-', meaning 'under', and 'sumere', meaning 'to take'. The term began to appear in English in the late 17th century as a way to describe the categorization process in logic and taxonomy. Its usage has since expanded to various fields, including philosophy and law, where it denotes the incorporation of individual elements into broader classifications. The concept of subsumption is fundamental in understanding hierarchical relationships and the dynamics between parts and wholes.
