Agreed to receive something regularly, usually by paying a fee, like a magazine or streaming service.
From Latin 'subscribere' (to write under), from sub- (under) + scribere (to write). Originally meant signing your name at the bottom of a document to agree to it.
The metaphor of 'writing under' something to agree has survived 2,000 years — it's why we still use 'signature' and 'subscription,' even though most people now click 'agree' instead of writing anything.
