1. The term "overflown" is the past participle of the verb "overflow." It refers to the act or state of filling or exceeding the capacity of a container or space, wherein the contents spill over or extend beyond the allotted boundaries. The emphasis lies on the action of exceeding a limit or boundary.

   When something is described as being "overflown," it suggests that it has experienced a situation where it has been flooded, overwhelmed, or immersed with a quantity or volume that surpasses its capacity.
