"Super" is a Latin adverb and preposition that means "over, above, on the top of, in addition, during" and is also used as a prefix to verbs ("supermitto" (to throw over, from super + mitto). It is a cognate of the Greek word "hyper." Many Greek words that have an 'h' (aspiration) at the beginning of a word will have an 's' in Latin or English (cf. septem (Latin), seven (English), hepta (Greek))
In Latin "super" did not tend to have a meaning of intensification. Latin had other words to show intensity, like the prefix "con" (from the preposition "cum," which mostly means "with"), and "per"( cf. "suadeo" (to urge), "persuadeo" (to persuade)). Some authors liked adding intensive prefixes, or diminutives, with little change of meaning, but mostly these prefixes were intensive in meaning.
