Morphology

superconsciousness = superconscious (transparent) = super + conscious + ness

The adjective 'superconscious' is transparently formed from 'super-' + 'conscious' to mean a higher-than-normal consciousness; adding '-ness' yields the state.

Etymology

Superconsciousness comes from the first part super- meaning 'above' and consciousness meaning 'awareness'. So it describes an awareness that is 'above' ordinary mind, a higher or wider state of being.
