'su' is 'substitute user' as you can substitute to *any* 'user' or 'group', not just 'root user'.
you are a 'super user' if you you become 'root' or 'adm'.
Bzzzt. Wrong answer. Thank you for playing.
I was at BTL in the very early '80s. Writing kernel mods and drivers
for Unix, and teaching Unix internals to BTL employees. It's always been
"superuser". I don't know where anyone got this lame "substitute user"
stuff, but it's not authentic.
