Answer:

1 : to conquer and bring into subjection : vanquish. 2 : to bring under control especially by an exertion of the will : curb subdued my foolish fears. 3 : to bring (land) under cultivation. 4 : to reduce the intensity or degree of : tone down.

Some common synonyms of subdue are conquer, defeat, overcome, overthrow, reduce, and vanquish. While all these words mean "to get the better of by force or strategy," subdue implies a defeating and suppression.

Hope it helps!!!
