subdirectory

/sˌʌbdᵻɹˈɛktɚɹi/ noun

A directory located inside another directory.

Word Origin Directory comes from Latin directus 'straight, guided' and the suffix -ory 'place for,' so it's a place that guides you. Subdirectory adds sub- 'under,' making it a directory beneath another. The root regere 'to rule, guide straight' is everywhere: direct, correct (make straight), regulate, and even reign.
