Root Explanation

Superboard → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "board" (from Old English "bord", meaning a flat surface or plank). The word "superboard" refers to a board that is above or beyond the standard or typical board, often implying enhanced features or capabilities.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'above' ('super-') a regular 'board' — this helps you remember that a superboard is an enhanced or superior version of a standard board.
