Word origin
The compound 超标 (chāobiāo, "exceed the standard") joins 超 (chāo, "beyond") and 标 (biāo, "benchmark"), so its form pictures a result crossing the line for an accepted measurement.
Usage tips
- In everyday Chinese, this is mainly a formal measurement word, so casual talk about an excessive amount usually calls for a more general expression.
