Usage Examples

Etymology

The French adjective *super* is a late 20th‑century borrowing from English, which itself is a direct use of the Latin preposition *super* (“above, beyond”) that later became a prefix in Latin. French adopted the English slang sense of “excellent, outstanding” in the early 1900s, replacing older French adjectives such as *exceptionnel* in informal speech. Thus the word’s lineage is Latin *super* → English *super* → French *super* (adjective).
