You can think of 'sub' as a tiny, casual word that does two unrelated jobs at once: (1) it stands IN for someone or something else for a while (a sub = a substitute), and (2) it is just a lazy short form chopped off the front of a longer 'sub-' word (submarine, subscription, sub-editor). Context tells you which longer word it is hiding.

可以把 sub 想成一個又短又隨便的口語詞,它同時做兩件互不相干的事:一是「暫時頂替」另一個人或東西(替補、代課);二是把一個比較長、開頭是 sub- 的字直接砍短來用(submarine→sub 潛水艇、subscription→sub 訂閱)。到底指哪一個,要看上下文。所以這不是一個有單一畫面的字,而是好幾個被縮短的字共用同一個拼法。
