subentries
Items within entries
Subentries are entries nested under a main entry, typically covering related forms, compounds, or phrases.
In dictionaries, subentries might include derivatives like joyful and joyless under the main entry for joy.
The structure signals that these terms share a root but deserve individual treatment: The editor organized the subentries alphabetically.
