Morphology

superexpression = expression (transparent) = super + expression

The meaning is directly built from the productive prefix 'super-' + 'expression' to indicate a higher-order or larger expression, which is readily inferable.

Etymology

Superexpression joins super- meaning 'above' or 'very' and expression meaning 'a way to show or write something', so in math or programming it feels like one big expression made by putting smaller expressions together.
