Root Explanation

Ultracompetent → It is formed from "ultra-" (meaning beyond) and "competent" (from Latin "competens", meaning suitable or qualified). The word "ultracompetent" means beyond being suitable or exceptionally qualified.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is "beyond" ("ultra-") just being "qualified" or "suitable" ("competent") — that's why ultracompetent means exceptionally qualified.
