Über, is [[German]] for over, beyond, about or "super", and chassis comes from the [[Latin]] word for case, so a direct translation for Überchassis would be "over case". The word Über has become frequently used in non-German popular expressions, such as "Über-Trick" from the SSX game series, to describe something as being a superlative example of its kind or class.
