 Describe the origin of the word “Super”.

Ans: Some anonymous writer has written about our excessive use of the word or prefix “super” with each and everything, we produce or grow today. The writer has pointed out ironically that we have used and are using this word with such a great repetition that it has lost its real meaning.
According to him, Bernard Shawc the great 20th century dramatist, used the word “Super” with man after Nietzsche and talked for the first time about “Superman” to give the idea of a great powerful man. But soon the word “super” began to be used with every | commonplace thing like cigarette, soap, chocolate, etc.
Actually, when *we call a thing “super", we mean to say that it is of the best possible quality or of the most superior quality.
In old time, titles were given to those persons, who performed some “super” deeds at sometime. There were Lords, Peers, Counts, in France, England and some other countries. During the age of Renaissance, noblemen were proud to show themselves off, as Caesar Borgia, to whom Machiavelli dedicated his book “The Prince” tried to be a “superman”.
We use the word “super" with things only to inflate our ego or deceive others, otherwise there is hardly any difference of quality in a thing called “super” and an ordinary thing. How can the things be super things, when there are no supermen to produce them?
