Subcooled liquid is a liquid
Liquid

Liquid is one of the principal states of matter. A liquid is a fluid that has the particles loose and can freely form a distinct surface at the boundaries of its bulk material....

Temperature

In physics, temperature is a physical property of a Physical system that underlies the common notions of hot and cold; something that feels hotter generally has the greater temperature....

Pressure

Pressure is the force per unit area applied to an object in a direction surface normal to the surface. Gauge pressure is the pressure relative to the local atmospheric or ambient pressure....
. Compressed liquid is a synonymous term, but it stresses that the pressure is greater than the saturation pressure for the given temperature. Both terms have the same meaning. The term subcooled appears to be more popular.

Compressed liquid properties are relatively independent of pressure
