Say you have collection of things (like list of names) {doug, bill, fred, tom} a subset is a smaller set that contains items that are in the set above, so one example of a subset is {doug, fred}

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Notice how the subset contains items that are part of the original set
