Superregional → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "regional" (from Latin "regio", meaning region). The word "superregional" refers to something that extends beyond a single region or is above regional in scope.
Memory Tip
Think of something that goes 'beyond' ('super-') a specific 'region' — that's why superregional means it covers multiple regions.
