Root Explanation

Supernal → It is formed from "super" (meaning above or over) and "nal" (derived from Latin "nalis", meaning pertaining to). The word "supernal" refers to something that is heavenly or celestial, literally meaning pertaining to what is above.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'above' ('super') and 'pertaining to' ('nal') the heavens — that's why supernal means heavenly.
