Root Explanation

Superimposable → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or over) and "imponere" (meaning to place). The word describes objects that can be placed over one another in such a way that they coincide perfectly.

Memory Tip

Think of placing something 'above' ('super-') another object 'to place' ('imponere') — that's why superimposable means capable of being placed over each other.
