Here's a breakdown:
* Subsisting: This means to exist, survive, or maintain oneself.
* Solely: This means only, exclusively, or without any other means.
Examples:
* "The tribe subsists solely on the hunt for wild animals."
* "He subsists solely on a diet of fruits and vegetables."
* "The company subsists solely on the profits from its online sales."
In essence, "subsisting solely" implies a state of complete reliance on a single source for survival or function.
