And then it says “something additional and subordinate,” which means… well, it’s extra! It’s not the main thing, but it improves it or makes it more complete. Like a scarf on a coat – lovely and warm, but the coat is still the star of the show. “An attachment” is another good clue, isn't it? Like buttons on a shirt, or decorations on a cake!
