subinterval

/sˌʌbɪntˈɜvəl/ noun

Any of several smaller intervals into which a larger one is divided

Word Origin Interval comes from Latin 'inter' (between) and 'vallum' (wall) — literally 'space between walls.' So an interval is a gap between things. Subinterval is a smaller interval within a larger one, with sub- meaning 'under' or 'subordinate.' The same 'inter' gives us interact (act between), interlude (play between), and intervene (come between).
