The intensifying prefix 'super-' combines with the familiar adjective 'high' to mean 'extremely high', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word superhigh comes from the parts super- 'above' and high 'tall' or 'great', like supermarket where super- means 'very', so it means 'much higher than usual'.
