Usage Note
Subconsciente functions as both a noun ('the subconscious') and an adjective ('subconscious'), with the noun use being more frequent in everyday speech. As a noun it is masculine: el subconsciente. It is a learned loanword drawn from psychoanalytic vocabulary and carries no register restriction in modern Spanish; inconsciente is a near-synonym, though specialists sometimes distinguish them.
