The term "hadst over" is a combination of the words "hadst" and "over", both of which have distinct etymologies.
1. Hadst: "Hadst" is the second person singular past tense of the verb "have" in Middle English. It originated from the Old English word "hæfde", which had a similar meaning of possession or ownership. The word "have" itself has evolved from the Proto-Germanic root word "habēną", meaning "to have" or "to hold". This root word is also related to the modern German word "haben" and the Dutch word "hebben".
2. Over: The word "over" has a long history and multiple meanings. In this context, "over" is used as a preposition indicating movement or direction. It derives from Old English "ofer" and Proto-Germanic "uber".
