Morphology

supermasculine = masculine (transparent) = super + masculine

The prefix 'super-' functions as an intensifier added to the familiar adjective 'masculine', so the meaning is directly 'very/extremely masculine'.

Etymology

Supermasculine joins super- ('above' or 'very'), like in superhero, with masculine ('male'). So it means 'very male' or having extremely strong male features.
