See subtil in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /syp.til/ Audio: Fr-subtil.ogg Forms: subtile [feminine], subtils [masculine, plural], subtiles [feminine, plural]
Etymology: From Middle French subtil, from Old French subtil (13th c.), byform of sotil (12th c.), itself inherited from Latin subtīlis. Old French subtil may still represent the inherited form if it stands for the pronunciation /su.til/. The modern /y/ is of semi-learned origin. The b probably came to be pronounced even later; Middle French variant spellings like sutil, suttil suggest that it was still mostly silent.
