Etymology of OVERCASTING

The word "overcasting" is derived from the verb "cast" combined with the prefix "over-".

The verb "cast" comes from the Old Norse word "kasta", meaning "to throw". It originally referred to the act of throwing something forcefully or projecting it into the air. Over time, the meaning expanded to include the action of placing a mold or a model into which liquid metal or other material is poured to shape it. This casting process later became associated specifically with metalworking and is commonly used in various industries.

The prefix "over-" in "overcasting" indicates excess or an action performed excessively. Combined with "cast", it suggests an action of pouring or shaping something by projecting an excess amount of material over a surface or mold.
