Imagine you have a balcony. If your balcony is built in a way that it sticks out over the street below, you can say it surplombe the street. It means it's above and extends out beyond something else. You can also use it for things like a cliff that surplombe the sea, meaning it hangs over the sea from above. It's a useful word to describe when one thing is physically positioned above and projecting over another.
