súper

/ˈsupeɾ/ · B1 · adj

superb, great

🦸 Same as English super: Latin super = above, so above the rest

Spanish borrowed súper straight from English super, which comes from Latin super, meaning above or beyond. Calling something súper puts it above ordinary. The accent on the ú marks the stress on the first syllable: SOO-per.
