superteam = team (transparent) = super + team + super

The meaning is clearly derived from 'super' + 'team', indicating a team with extraordinary abilities.

Etymology

Superteam comes from putting super ('above' or 'very') before team ('a group that works together'), just like superhero teams in comics where people have special powers. That's why superteam means a group of superheroes who work together to save the day.
