Surface Forms

super-smart positive

Morphology

super-smart = smart (transparent) = super + smart

The intensifier 'super' plus the British sense of 'smart' (stylish) yields 'very stylish', which is directly inferable if the learner knows 'smart' in this sense.

Etymology

Super-smart combines super- 'very' with smart, which can mean 'stylish' or 'neat' as in a smart suit. So to be super-smart in dress is to be very fashionable and sharply put together.
