Less ambiguously and possibly less literally, "user of super ability".
The components are:
"ryoku" which is very literally "power" (it's the same kanji more familiar to most people as "chikara");
compounded with "nou", which means "ability" or "talent" or "gift" or "skill", to make "nouryoku" -
which can also be translated "power", but with a more specific nuance than just "ryoku" alone (it has connotations of "ability unique
to this person" or at least "ability of an unusual type" and could reasonably be translated as "special ability");
prefixed by "chou", which means "great" or "super" or "big" and is probably familiar to most anime fans;
and suffixed with "sha", which while it does literally mean "person" (it's the same kanji as the more familiar "mono"), as a
suffix seems to have more specific meaning than that. Every context I've seen it in has been of the form "(adjective)sha" and has seemed to mean
"one who applies (adjective)"; for example, in Naruto, Sasuke refers to himself as "fukushuusha" where "fukushuu" means
"vengeance".
It's possible that I'm reading more into that last than there is, and it really does just mean "person", with the other meaning I'm
seeing as just a matter of interpretation - but even if so, hopefully the "break it down / build it up" grammar moment will have been of interest to
someone.
