What is Subprime?
1.
The term originated in the financial services industry to refer to lower-credit-score borrowers. However, thanks to continuous media use, a much broader audience was exposed to it in 2007 during the credit meltdown. Now, it is used to describe anything that is below standard or less than ideal.

Subprime lending (also known as B-paper, near-prime, or second chance lending) is the practice of making loans to borrowers who do not qualify for the best market interest rates because of their deficient credit history.
This word first came into prominence in 2007 with the global
subprime mortgage meltdown.
The prefix "sub" translates roughly to "below the standard," while "prime" means something close to "the best."
The Subprime mortgage meltdown has shaken the world's financial system.
