Morphology

super-strong = strong (transparent) = super + strong

Meaning is a straightforward intensification: 'super-' + 'strong' = very/extremely strong, which learners can easily infer.

Etymology

The word super-strong starts with super- which means 'above' or 'very', just like in superman, so it literally says 'very strong' or 'much stronger than usual'.
