subsystem

A unit or device that is part of a larger system. For example, a disk subsystem is a part of a computer system. A bus is a part of the computer. A subsystem usually refers to hardware, but it may be used to describe software. However, "module," "subroutine" and "component" are more typically used to describe parts of software.

A major part of a system which itself has the characteristics of a system, usually consisting of several components.

building subsystem

1. A complete group of elements or set of parts that form and function as a unit within a finished building.
