Inferior Continental articles (5)

I believe the answer is:
under
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'inferior' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'continental articles' is the second definition.
(Other definitions for under that I've seen before include "Lower than" , "See 7" , "Dylan Thomas radio play ''.... Milk Wood''" , "In a state of unconsciousness" , "Subject to the authority of" .)
