Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; perhaps modelled on a German lexical item, or perhaps modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: sub- prefix, tropic adj.¹

Etymology: < sub- prefix + tropic adj.¹, perhaps after German subtropisch or scientific Latin subtropicus (both 1823 or earlier). Compare French subtropique (1829 or earlier; < German), Danish subtropisk (1829). Compare earlier subtropical adj. N.E.D. (1915) indicates the stress as ˈsubˌtropic.
