Origin and Evolution of sublease

First Known Use: 1601 year
Language of Origin: Latin and Old French
Story behind the word: The word 'sublease' originated from the combination of the prefix 'sub-' meaning under or below, and the word 'lease' meaning a contract granting use or occupation of property during a specified period in exchange for rent.
Evolution of the word: Originally used in the early 17th century to refer to the act of leasing a property that is already leased by the primary tenant, the meaning of 'sublease' has evolved to encompass a wider range of subletting agreements and arrangements in modern real estate and rental markets.
