形容詞

superus (feminine supera, neuter superum, comparative superior, superlative suprēmus or superrimus or superrumus or summus, adverb super or suprā); first/second-declension adjective

1. above, upper, higher
   • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Vergilius, Aeneid 1.3–4:

     multum ille et terrīs iactātus et altō
     vī superum saevae memorem Iūnōnis ob īram

     that [man] having been tossed about much – both on land and on sea – by the power of [those] above, because of the fierce, unforgetting anger of Juno
     (The travails of Aeneas are due to “higher powers,” i.e. the gods above. This poetic example shows the use of superum instead of superōrum for the genitive plural “of [those] above.” See: Aeneid; Juno (mythology).)
