Morphology

superhuman = human (transparent) = super + human

The meaning is directly built from the productive prefix 'super-' (beyond/exceeding) + 'human', so learners can compose the meaning.

Etymology

Superhuman comes from the Latin parts super- meaning 'above' and human meaning 'human', so think of it as 'above human'. So, when we call an action or effort superhuman, we mean it shows power or endurance 'above' what a normal person can do.
