SUPREME:

1523, from M.Fr. suprême, from L. supremus “highest,” superlative of superus “situated above,” from super, “above.”

Super:
from L. adverb and preposition super “above, over, on the top (of), beyond, besides, in addition to,” from PIE base *uper “over (cf. Skt. upari, Avestan upairi “over, above, beyond,” Gk. hyper...Goth. ufaro over, across...)
