Etymology
Subiect entered Romanian through French sujet, itself from Latin subiectum, the neuter past participle of subicere, meaning to place under or bring under. The Latin verb combines sub, under, with iacere, to throw. The word kept its Latin sense of something placed beneath a topic or discussion, and later gained the grammatical sense of the noun or pronoun that governs a verb.
