Below the mottled waves is a veritable treasure trove of objects snatched from a higher plane and dragged under. Subsummation is the logical end to the act of subsuming. It belies a larger infinity, going on as long as the eye can see. Subsummation, by contrast, is the vacuous break of waves on the beach.

Consummation has sensual overtones-it is the ringing gavel of finality. Somewhere in the utility of the word is the insidious power of stripping an object of all its unique qualities and letting it drown in the sea of subsummation. But what’s to stop subsume from lurking underwater, taking objects from below instead? The subsumed objects are not being rescued-they are drowning. Google tells me that the word comes from the Latin roots “sub” meaning “from below” and “sumere” meaning “to take.” This probably implies that the word should lie on a higher plane than the objects it takes, elevating the words that live below it to its level in some hierarchical sense. Subsume seems violent to me, an unstoppable force of nature that is underestimated in Merriam Webster. I refuse to believe that the word is so innocuous. “I am subsumed in hatred” seems to me to mean “I am utterly drowning in the infinite sea of hatred.” Not something like “a big animal called hatred is eating me.” Looking at the definition, subsume seems to be organizational, scientific-example sentences like “Red, blue, and green are subsumed in the word ‘colors’” leach all power from the word and relegate it merely to the realm of taxonomy. But it strikes me as something that has a deeper meaning than merely to be devoured. In definition, subsume is akin to the latter. It seems like a strange mix of “sublime” and “consume,”-two very opposite words one frees and the other captures.
