Root Explanation

Supersecrecy → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "secrecy" (from Latin "secretus", meaning hidden or concealed). The word "supersecrecy" refers to a state of being beyond mere secrecy, implying a higher level of concealment or confidentiality.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'above' ('super-') regular 'hidden' ('secretus') information — that's why supersecrecy means a higher level of confidentiality.
