Morphology

supercharged = charged (transparent) = super + charge + ed

The prefix 'super' is commonly used to intensify the meaning of the base word 'charged'.

Etymology

Supercharged also combines super- 'very' or 'extra' and charge 'to fill with energy', so you can think of a person, speech, or place that is supercharged as being full of extra energy or very strong emotion.
