Superwide → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "wide" (from Old English "wīd", meaning broad or extensive). The word "superwide" means exceptionally wide or broader than usual.
Memory Tip
Think of something that is 'beyond' ('super-') what is normally 'broad' — that's why superwide means exceptionally wide.
