subfluent (not comparable)

1. Flowing beneath.
   • 1935, Samuel Beckett, Watt:

     It was through the crown of this construction [a bridge] that one day Watt, treading more heavily than was his wont, or picking his steps with less than his usual care, drove his foot, and part of his leg. And he would certainly have fallen, and perhaps been carried away by the subfluent flood, had I not been at hand to bear him up.
