The word 'subscribe' really means what it means. The following are some of those meanings:

  • to sign up to something
  • to agree with something
  • to contribute money to something
  • to buy something regularly, e.g. a magazine or a concert ticket

The fact that the derivation of the word includes a Latin prefix meaning 'below' does not mean that all or any of its current meanings have to include such an element. Originally 'subscribe' would have carried the meaning of 'to sign one's name at the bottom of a document', but it has long since extended its range of valid meanings.
