Root Explanation

Superlight → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "light" (from Old English "leoht", meaning not heavy or bright). The word "superlight" refers to something that is extremely light or lighter than usual.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'beyond' ('super-') just being 'light' — that's why superlight means extremely light.
