Part of Speech: Preposition, Adverb
Explanation: SUB is a Latin preposition that can take either the accusative or ablative case, and its meaning changes depending on the case. With the accusative, it generally indicates motion to a place under something, or proximity in time or place. With the ablative, it indicates a static position under something, or a state of being under the influence or power of something. It can also function as an adverb meaning 'underneath' or 'below'. It is also a common prefix in many Latin-derived words.
