Root Explanation

Supercharge → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "charge" (from Old French *charger*, meaning to load or burden). The word "supercharge" means to load or enhance something beyond its normal capacity.

Memory Tip

Think of something being loaded or enhanced 'beyond' ('super-') its normal limits — that's what supercharge means.
