If X is a harmonic of Y, I'm looking for the word that would fit in
Y is a xxx of X

"Fundamental" might be the term you're looking for.

Y can either be "the fundamental" or "a subharmonic" of X.

It's a matter for rational debate if the second harmonic is a
subharmonic of the third harmonic :-)

That would be the base note or base frequency.

Not my favorite term, but “subharmonic”.
(Also sometimes “undertone”, analogous to “overtone”.)
