Morphology

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

The meaning is directly built from the intensifying prefix 'super-' plus 'strong', so a learner can readily infer 'extremely strong'.

Etymology

As a noun, super-strong is an informal name for a person or animal with great strength. The super- part still means 'very', like in superhero, so a super-strong is someone with 'above' normal strength.
