A prefix signifying above, over,
beyond, and hence often denoting in a superior position,
in excess, over and above, in addition,
exceedingly; as in superimpose, supersede,
supernatural, superabundance.
A prefix formerly much used
to denote that the ingredient to the name of which it was prefixed was
present in a large, or unusually large, proportion as
compared with the other ingredients; as in calcium
superphosphate. It has been superseded by per-, bi-
, di-, acid, etc. (as peroxide,
bicarbonate, disulphide, and acid sulphate),
which retain the old meanings of super-, but with sharper
definition. Cf. Acid, a., Bi-, Di-
, and Per-.
