This question is inspired from a previous question(marked unclear). I don't know about the context of that question but I was intrigued by a statement in that question:
Superphosphate is used instead of just phosphate because
superphosphate is a compound whereas phosphate is an ion.
Now, the question is how the name "superphosphate" describe a compound? Since, it contains the suffix -ate, shouldn't it be considered an ion just like a phosphate?
Just to add some more context, I googled superphosphate and it gave results about it being a fertilizer, its various types and its suppliers. How come a fertilizer be named superphosphate? Is it because it is enriched with phosphorus? Or is it just a trademark name? What is the significance of the word "super"?
Searching for more, I came to know that calcium dihydrogenphosphate is also known as calcium superphosphate. Is it the same superphosphate that we are talking about? Is it the same as superoxide? Does IUPAC recommends its usage? To broaden the clarification, what is "super" even supposed to mean?
If there are superoxide and superphosphate, are there any other ion containing the name "super" like supersulfate or supernitrate? The names seem to be too absurd/obsolete to even pronounce.
To clarify my questions:
- What is the significance of the name "super" in superphosphate? Is it a real chemical name or a trademark name?
- Is the same as superoxide?
- Are there any other ions containing the name "super"?

In the bulk fertilizer business there is a solution that contains more than 100 % H3PO4 ; I think it is 107% . It is a gel that is kept hot ( about 150F) so that it will flow. It is blended at fertilizer plants to get custom fertilizer blends for specific locations.

Superphosphate is a name used in agriculture, therefore, it does not mean the same super in the superoxides. There are two important types of fertilizers in agriculture: Nitrogenous and phosphatic fertilizers. Superphosphate is an one of major segments in phosphatic fertilizers, which is described as follows (Ref.1):
The primary products of the phosphatic fertilizers industry are phosphoric acid, ammonium phosphate, normal superphosphate, and triple superphosphate. Phosphoric acid is sold as is or is used as an intermediate in producing other phosphatic fertilizers. Monoammonium phosphate is favored for its high phosphorous content, while diammonium phosphate is favored for its high nitrogen content. Normal superphosphate has a relatively low concentration of phosphorous, however it is used in mixtures because of its low cost. Triple superphosphate provides a high concentration of phosphorous, more than 40% phosphorous pentoxide.
Normal or ordinary superphosphate fertilizers (NSP) are produced by reacting phosphate rocks with sulfuric acid (for this reason, NSP retains its importance in wherever sulfur efficiency limits crop yields). Normal orsuperphosphate fertilizers are refer to the fertilizer material containing 15-21% phosphorus as phosphorus pentoxide ($ceP2O5$). NSP contains no more than 22% of available $ceP2O5$ (Ref.1).
Triple superphosphate fertilizers (TSP) are produced by reacting ground phosphate rocks with phosphoric acid. Triple orsuperphosphate fertilizers are also known as double, treple, or concentrated superphosphate. The phosphorus content of TSP is over 40% measured as phosphorus pentoxide ($ceP2O5$), which is its major advantage over other phosphatic fertilizers (Ref.1).
Note: To my knowledge, there are no other names such as supernitrates in fertilizer industry or agriculture, to tell the least.

In the bulk fertilizer business there is a solution that contains more than 100 % H3PO4 ; I think it is 107% . It is a gel that is kept hot ( about 150F) so that it will flow. It is blended at fertilizer plants to get custom fertilizer blends for specific locations.
