Etymology of OVERBRIM

The word "overbrim" is a combination of two separate words: "over" and "brim".

The term "over" is derived from the Old English word "ofer", which originally meant "above, beyond, or over". It has cognates in various Germanic languages, such as German "über" and Dutch "over".

The word "brim" can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "brimbaz", which meant "rim" or "border". This Proto-Germanic root also gave rise to similar words in other Germanic languages, including German "Bräme" and Old Norse "barmr".

Combining "over" and "brim", the word "overbrim" refers to something that exceeds or goes beyond the brim or edge of a container.
