覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
ラテン語の sub-「下へ」＋ sedere「座る」を手掛かりに、高まった波や感情が下がって落ち着く像で覚えましょう。
The Latin elements sub-, meaning downward, and sedere, meaning to sit, suggest settling down. Picture a high wave or strong feeling gradually sinking to a calmer level.

subsides の語源・成り立ち Etymology
subsides は subside の三単現で、ラテン語 subsidere「下へ沈む・落ち着く」に由来し、sub-「下」+ sedere「座る」から成ります。波や興奮が『下がって座るように静まる』と考えると意味がつかめ、subsidence や subsidy が同根です。
Subsides is the third-person singular present form of subside. Subside comes from Latin subsidere, meaning “to sit down, settle, or sink,” formed from sub-, “under” or “down,” and sedere, “to sit.” The physical idea of sinking or settling developed into the figurative sense of becoming less intense or active. Related forms include subsidence, the process of sinking or settling, and the adjective subsided.
