† subviraten.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with English elements. Etymons: sub- prefix, Latin vir , -ate suffix¹.

Etymology: < sub- prefix + classical Latin vir man (see virile adj.) + -ate suffix¹, probably punningly after e.g. triumvirate n., quadrumvirate n., and perhaps also names of chemical compounds in sub- prefix and -ate suffix¹ (e.g. subacetate n., subphosphate n.). N.E.D. (1915) gives the pronunciation as (sɒ·bvireⁱt) /ˈsʌbvɪreɪt/.
