Super-, Supra-, and Trans-: Going farther than ever


Super-, Supra-, and Trans- are three Latin prefixes which challenge us to go beyond our expectations.

Super- means above or beyond.
Supra- also can also mean above, but also indicates 
over, outside of, and beyond the limits of.
Trans- can be translated as across, beyond, through, 
on the far side, or to go beyond.
