Forms: 1500s superparticulare, 1500s superperticular, 1500s– superparticular.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin superparticularis.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin superparticularis (5th cent.) < classical Latin super- super- prefix + particulāris particular adj.

Mathematics. Now chiefly historical (in the context of early music).

A. adj.

1. Of a ratio: having a first term (the antecedent) with a value equal to the second term (the consequent) plus one (e.g. 3:2, 4:3, etc.), i.e. in which the antecedent contains the consequent once with one aliquot part remaining (e.g. 1½, 1⅓, 1¼ times).
