Have you tried that new moisturizer everyone is talking about?

Not yet, but I heard it's really superfatted and great for dry skin.

Root Explanation

Superfatted → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or over) and "fatted" (from the verb "fatten", meaning to make fat). The word "superfatted" refers to something that has been made excessively fat or has an excess of fat.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is made 'over' ('super-') fat — that's why 'superfatted' means excessively fat.
