Etymology

Romanian borrowed "super" in the twentieth century from French and international usage, where it had already spread as a clipped form of words like "superbe" or simply as the Latin prefix used on its own. The source is the Latin preposition and prefix "super", meaning "above" or "over". In Romanian it settled as an invariable adjective and intensifying prefix, unlike most Romanian adjectives, which change for gender and number.
