Etymology: "Superhot" is about as plain as coinages get: the prefix "super-", from Latin "super" meaning "above" or "over", attached to the ordinary English adjective "hot." The prefix has been used in English since the Middle Ages, and attaching it to adjectives to mean "exceedingly" or "beyond the usual degree" is a common pattern. The base word traces a longer path. "Hot" comes from Old English "hāt," which descends from a Proto-Germanic form and ultimately from an Indo-European root connected to heat and burning. Its Middle English form "hot" carried the same sense of warmth and temperature that it does today. Combining the two gives a word meaning "extremely hot," used especially for temperatures or, more loosely, for intense heat in other senses.
