Morphology

supercharge = charge (transparent) = super + charge

Straightforward prefixation where 'super-' intensifies or increases the sense of 'charge', yielding 'increase power/intensity'.

Etymology

Supercharge comes from the parts super- meaning 'above' or 'extra' and charge meaning 'to give power', just like the familiar word recharge. So to supercharge something is to give it an extra boost or much more power than normal.
