From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:



  Super- \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.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     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 It has been superseded by per-, bi-, di-,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-}.
        [1913 Webster]
