Root Explanation

Supersalesman → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "salesman" (from Old English "sale" meaning transaction and "man" meaning person). The word "supersalesman" refers to a person who excels or goes beyond the usual level in sales.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'above' ('super-') the average in making 'transactions' ('salesman') — that's why a supersalesman is an exceptional salesperson.
