\Su"per-\ [L. super over, above; akin to Gr. ?, L. sub
under, and E. over. See {Over}, and cf. {Hyper-}, {Sub-},
{Supra-}, {Sur-}.]
1. 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.
2. (Chem.) 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 It has been superseded by per-, bi-, di-,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-}.
\Su"per\, n.
A contraction of {Supernumerary}, in sense 2. [Theatrical
Cant]
