Hi Peter
There is common useage of the word "subcaste" on many US oriented discussion
groups (to describe familiies of drones and half sisters in workers)... I
usually use the word "subset" which makes sense in UK English.
The thread originator merely missed the "sub" off... I do not think any
misunderstanding resulted. Language is a fairly flexible comodity and
meaning can usually survive the odd "mangling".
Best regards & 73s... Dave Cushman G8MZY
