Root Explanation

Superconduct → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "conduct" (from Latin "conducere", meaning to lead or bring together). The word refers to the phenomenon of conducting electricity with zero resistance, going beyond normal conductivity.

Memory Tip

Think of something that conducts electricity 'beyond' ('super-') normal levels — that's why superconduct means to conduct electricity without resistance.
