Root Explanation

Superbomber → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "bomber" (from the verb "bomb" which comes from the Latin "bombus", meaning a booming or buzzing sound). The word "superbomber" refers to a bomber that is above or beyond the standard in capability or effectiveness.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'above' ('super-') the usual 'bombing' capabilities — that's why a superbomber is an advanced type of bomber.
