extra
More than needed
Extra means beyond what is usual, expected, or necessary.
An extra blanket provides additional warmth; extra credit offers bonus points.
As a noun, an extra is something added—a car with all the extras—or a person hired to appear in the background of a film.
As an adverb, extra intensifies: extra large, extra careful.
In recent slang, extra describes someone being excessive or dramatic: She's being so extra right now.
