What does SUPRA mean in Scrabble?
adverb
formal
Above, before, or earlier in the same piece of writing; used to point a reader back to something already stated.
Supra comes directly from Latin, where it simply meant above, and English writers borrowed it whole rather than translating it. Legal briefs, footnotes and academic papers use supra to send a reader back to a case, quotation or argument given earlier in the same text, much as infra sends them forward. Because the word only makes sense next to a specific reference, it appears almost exclusively as a cross-reference marker rather than in ordinary conversation.
How SUPRA is used
Chiefly written, found in footnotes and citations of legal and scholarly texts rather than in speech.
