Subordinate theme (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

subject

I believe this is a double definition.

'subordinate' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'theme' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for subject that I've seen before include "A national - topic of discussion" , "Topic - branch of study - citizen" , "Theme - one under rule" , "Citizenship' at school maybe" , "Theme (of a fugue)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
