Answer 2

In 1903, the famous Irish playwright, George Bernard Shaw, was looking for a striking title for an important new play he had just written. He went back to Latin to retranslate a German term that had been invented by the philosopher Frederick Nietzsche. The term was "Ubermensch," which literally meant a higher being or superior person. Previously, this word had been translated into English as "overman," which was rather ridiculous. Shaw came up with "superman" and made it the title of his play, "Man and Superman." "Super" is a Latin prefix, which means over, above, or at a higher level. It appears in many words like "superficial" and "superstructure." Before 1903, it was only used in this way, but gradually it began to apply to a great many other words and became an adjective in its own right. For instance, you can buy a supersize packet of food as a super offer in a supermarket, and it's super to drive home in the new supermodel of a car. You could even say that Shaw was a super playwright.
