过人 is a verb-object compound literally meaning 'surpass others'. It is most commonly used as a stative verb or attributive adjective to describe someone's exceptional ability, appearing in the pattern Adjective + 过人 (e.g., 聪明过人 'surpassingly clever') or attributively before 的 (e.g., 过人之处 'outstanding qualities'). Although the POS tag lists it as a separable verb (v.o.), in modern Chinese it is rarely split — 人 does not normally separate from 过 with inserted elements — so treat it as a fixed phrase.
