Definition
所属 (suǒ shǔ) is a formal, organizational word meaning 'affiliated with' (used before a noun) or 'one's subordinate(s)' (as a noun). Unlike the verb 属 (shǔ) 'to belong to', 所属 is used attributively. As a noun for 'subordinate', 下属 (xià shǔ) and 下级 (xià jí) are more common for people, while 所属 can also refer to the organization itself.
