Root Explanation

Ultrasecret → It is formed from "ultra-" (meaning beyond or extreme) and "secret" (from Latin "secretus", meaning hidden or concealed). The word "ultrasecret" refers to something that is extremely hidden or confidential, beyond ordinary secrecy.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is "beyond" ('ultra-') just being "hidden" ('secret') — that's why ultrasecret means extremely hidden.
