Definition

Usage Examples

Etymology

**Superficiel** comes from the Latin adjective *superficialis* “on the surface, superficial.” That Latin word is built from *super* “above” + *facies* “face, surface” with the adjectival suffix *‑alis*. It entered French in the 13th‑14th centuries as *superficiel*, keeping its sense of something limited to the outer layer and later extending to the figurative notion of “shallow” or “superficial.”
