Did you see how he performed in the game last night?

Yeah, it was impressive how he played so supernormally well!

Root Explanation

Supernormally → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "normal" (from Latin "norma", meaning a standard or pattern) and the suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word "supernormally" means in a manner that is above or beyond the standard or normal.

Memory Tip

Think of 'super-' meaning above and 'normal' as a standard — so when something happens supernormally, it occurs in a way that goes beyond what is usual.
