覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
super- は「上に・超えて」、annual は「毎年の」と知っていると、superannuation は「毎年積み上がって、仕事を終えた後を支えるお金の仕組み」とつなげやすいです。意味は broad な pension に近いですが、特に雇用主拠出の退職年金制度を指しやすい語。オーストラリア英語では very common。会社・雇用・退職後資金の文脈で見たらこの語を思い出すと定着します。
Notice the long form and connect it with `annual`, which means yearly. `Superannuation` is often used in work and retirement contexts, especially in Australian English, so tie it to money built up over working years. If you already know `pension`, think of this as a more specific system word.

退職金
(意味 2)解説 Definition
退職金とは従業員が退職するときに雇用主から受け取る給付金で、退職後の生活を支える目的で積み立てられた制度です。長年の勤務に対する報酬や保障を兼ねており、定期的な積立や確定給付型の仕組みなどで支払われます。厚生年金や企業年金と連動することもあります。
Superannuation means money or a system for supporting someone after they retire from work. It is especially common in Australian English for retirement savings and pension plans. The word is formal and is mostly used in financial or legal contexts.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
super- は「上乗せ・手厚い」、annual/anniversary の annu- は「年」を連想すると、長年働いた後の生活に向けて、毎年少しずつ積み上げる退職後資金の制度だと覚えやすい。annuity（年金型の定期給付）とも近く、superannuation は単発の退職金というより制度・積立の響きが強い。superannuation fund、employer contributions と一緒に見ると定着しやすい。
Notice the `annu-` part, which is also in words about years, like `annual` and `annuity`. That gives the idea of money built up over time for later life. It is often used for a system or fund, so remember phrases like `superannuation fund` and `employer contributions`.
例文

彼は退職時に大きな退職金を受け取りました。

その会社は従業員の退職年金口座に定期的に拠出しています。

superannuation の語源・成り立ち Etymology
superannuation は super-「越えて」+ annus「年」+ -ation から成り、ラテン語 annus「年」が核です。もとは「勤める年齢を越えた状態」で、そこから退職や年金を指すようになり、annual や anniversary にも同じ「年」の感覚が見えます。
Superannuation comes from Latin-based parts meaning "beyond" and "year," with the noun ending -ation. The key root is annus "year," which also appears in annual and anniversary. It first meant being beyond the normal years of service, and from that it developed into the ideas of retirement and retirement pay.
