Surface Forms

super-duper positive

Morphology

super-duper = super + duper (transparent) = super + duper

Formed by playful rhyming reduplication of 'super' to create an intensifier; the sense is clearly inferable from 'super'.

Etymology

Super-duper comes from the word super, which means 'very good', with a playful rhyme duper added to make it stronger. That's why super-duper is used to say something is 'very' or 'extremely' good.
