Root Explanation

Superscout → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "scout" (from Old French *escouter*, meaning to listen or observe). The word "superscout" refers to someone who observes or scouts from a position of superiority or greater vantage point.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is observing from a higher position ('super-') — that's why a superscout is someone who scouts or observes from above.
