Origin and Evolution of subtropical

First Known Use: 1824 year
Language of Origin: English
Story behind the word: The word 'subtropical' originated from the combination of the prefix 'sub-' meaning 'below' or 'under' and the word 'tropical' referring to the region near the equator characterized by warm climate.
Evolution of the word: Initially used to describe regions with a climate slightly less tropical than the equatorial regions, the term 'subtropical' has evolved to encompass a broader range of geographical areas with warm temperatures and distinct seasons.
