The component words of supermarket are as follows:

Su: a Mesopotamian word meaning: "to take control [from another party]" this is the root word of Sue, the term used for bringing legal action against another party.

Per: An English word derived from Latin in the current lexicon meaning, "for each; or by means of"

Mar: An English word derived from Old Saxon and Norse words meaning, "to disfigure, deface, or scar"

Ket: a shortening of the word Kethulu, K'thulu, or C'thulu, The Lovecraftian Horror.

The reason why these words put together make for our modern term "supermarket" is due to the connotation that supermarkets have in modern society. Supermarkets such as Walmart, K-mart, and Target are attempting to take control (Su) of our world, by means of (per) defacing (mar) the beautiful natural land upon which they build their towering structures in an attempt to turn as all mad (Ket).

Super and Market are the two words put together. Super when combined with other words indicates something that is above or beyond what is normally expected or to be extra large. So this would be an extra large, or more complete type of store.
