Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Superconfident → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "confident" (from Latin "confidere", meaning to trust or have full trust). The word "superconfident" means having an excessive or extreme level of confidence, going beyond normal trust in oneself.

Memory Tip

Think of 'super-' meaning 'above' and 'confident' meaning 'trusting' — so superconfident means trusting yourself to an extreme degree.
