Root Explanation

Superaddition → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "additio" (from Latin, meaning addition). The word refers to the act of adding something additional or beyond what is already present.

Memory Tip

Think of adding something 'above' ('super-') what is already there ('additio') — that's why superaddition means adding something extra.
