The legal term subordinated may have a narrow technical definition, which can't be guessed without some context.
For example, subordinated debt will have a specific definition not closely related to normal English use of the word subordinate.
In normal English, the final definition
- militare (inferiore di grado) military :
is the primary use, and the penultimate definition
- (sottoposto) :
- subordinate, direct report n
- aide, associate n
- pejorative stooge, underling n
would be a less-common but still understandable use.
The other definitions (conditional, dependent or non-autonomous) would be more likely in specific, narrow or technical sense.
