This Latin term was adopted into English during the 17th century to articulate the concept of one thing being taken into another. Throughout its use, 'subsuming' has been utilized primarily in academic and philosophical contexts to describe the act of categorizing or integrating smaller ideas into larger frameworks. It has also found relevance in legal and scientific discourses, where it signifies the inclusion of specific cases or instances under general statutes or principles. Its ability to convey complex relationships between concepts makes it a valuable term in discussions of categorization and synthesis.
