hyper-
Beyond normal, preceding
Hyper- is a prefix meaning over, above, or excessive.
It attaches to adjectives to intensify them: hyperactive, hypersensitive, hypercritical.
With nouns it often suggests an advanced or exaggerated version: hyperinflation, hyperrealism.
In technical contexts hyper- can indicate something beyond normal parameters or existing at a higher level, as in hyperlink or hyperspace.
The prefix contrasts with hypo-, which means under or below normal.
