SubordinationPhonetics: sub-or-di-na-tion \'sə-bȯr-də-nā-shən\ Function: noun Definition 1: If you are refinancing your first mortgage and have an existing second or home equity line, one could "subordinate" the second mortgage: request that your second mortgage holder go back into the second lien position when you replace your existing first mortgage with the new refinance loan.
