Root Explanation

Superplane → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "plane" (from Latin "planus", meaning flat or level). The word "superplane" refers to an aircraft that operates at a level above the standard or typical plane.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'above' ('super-') a 'flat surface' ('plane') — that's why a superplane is an aircraft that operates at a higher level.
