Root Explanation

Supereminent → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "eminere" (meaning to stand out or to project). The word "supereminent" describes someone or something that stands out above others, indicating a high degree of prominence or superiority.

Memory Tip

Think of something that stands 'above' ('super-') and 'projects' or 'stands out' ('eminere') — that's why supereminent means exceptionally prominent or superior.
