Etymology

Inherited from Middle French sur, from Old French sur, seur, sor, soure, souvre, sovre (“on, upon, over”), from Latin super (“over, on, above”), from *eks-uper, from *h₁eǵʰs (“out of”) (Latin ex) and *upér (“above”), from *upo. Doublet of super, a borrowing. Cognate with Old English ofer (“over, above”). More at over.
