Root Explanation

Superpatriot → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "patriot" (from Latin "patriota", meaning a person who loves their country). The word "superpatriot" refers to someone who exhibits an extreme or excessive love for their country, going beyond typical patriotism.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who loves their country 'above' ('super-') and is a 'patriot' — that's why a superpatriot is someone with an extreme love for their nation.
