Hypokeimenon (Greek: ὑποκείμενον), later often material substratum, is a term in metaphysics which literally means the "underlying thing" (Latin: subiectum).
To search for the hypokeimenon is to search for that substance that persists in a thing going through change—its basic essence.
According to Aristotle's definition,[1] hypokeimenon is something which can be predicated by other things, but cannot be a predicate of others.
