Question

subsequent Through all her subsequent love affairs, she never stopped thinking about the man who got away. ˈsəbsəkwənt

Accepted Answer

Following in time, order, or place; later. The prefix sub- normally means “below,” and the sub- in subsequent seems to imply that everything after the first is somehow inferior. As the definition states, subsequent can refer to time (“All our subsequent attempts to contact her failed”), order (“The subsequent houses on the list looked even worse”), or place (“The subsequent villages on the river heading east become steadily more primitive”). But subsequently, as in “I subsequently learned the real story,” simply means “later.”
