Conversation

I read an article about a supermilitant group that wants to change the government.

Wow, that sounds intense! What are they trying to achieve?

They believe in using extreme measures to make their point clear.

I guess that's one way to get attention, but it's pretty risky.

Root Explanation

Supermilitant → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "militant" (from Latin "militari", meaning to serve as a soldier). The word "supermilitant" describes someone who is extremely or excessively militant, going beyond the usual levels of aggression or activism.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'above' ('super-') the usual level of being a 'soldier' or activist ('militant') — that's why supermilitant means extremely aggressive or active in a cause.
