초 is a korean prefix used to add a meaning "super" or "extremely".



Its origin is a Chinese letter 超, which means transcending.



It's often used to exaggerate.



So 초고수 can be translated to super 고수.



Examples:




초고효율적이다. Super effective.



초인. A person that has abilities that transcends normal people.




But please do not confuse with:




초고추장




This 초 means vinegar(醋).
