Superincumbent for Dummies

Alright, so "superincumbent" is a pretty big word, but don't worry, I'm here to help break it down for you! So, when we talk about something being "superincumbent," we're basically saying that it's lying on top of something else. Kind of like when you have a big stack of books, and one book is on top of all the others, that top book is "superincumbent" on the ones underneath it.

Another way to think about it is like when you build a sandcastle at the beach. You start with a base of wet sand, and then you pile more and more sand on top to make the walls and towers. All that extra sand is "superincumbent" on the base, because it's sitting on top of it.

So, in simpler terms, "superincumbent" means something is just resting or lying on top of something else. It's like the top layer of a sandwich, the icing on top of a cake, or the roof of a house. It's the thing that's on top of everything else.

I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any other questions.
