I was thinking about how sometimes challenges can really show our superableness.

That's an interesting way to put it! It’s like we grow stronger through tough times.

Exactly! It makes me believe that every obstacle has a solution.

Root Explanation
Superableness → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "ableness" (from "able" meaning having the capacity or ability, with the suffix "-ness" indicating a state or quality). The word "superableness" refers to the quality of being exceedingly able or having an abundance of ability.
Memory Tip
Think of being 'above' ('super-') in terms of 'ability' ('able') — that's why superableness means having an abundance of ability.
