Etymology of OVERJUMP

The word "overjump" is a combination of the prefix "over-" and the verb "jump".

The prefix "over-" comes from Old English "of, ofer", which means "above, beyond, or in excess". It has Germanic roots and is related to the German "über" and Dutch "over". The prefix "over-" is often used to indicate surpassing or exceeding a certain limit or boundary.

The verb "jump" dates back to the 14th century and comes from the Old Norse word "hoppa", which means "to spring, hop". It is similar to the Middle Low German "hupfen" and Middle Dutch "huppen". The English word "jump" initially meant "to move suddenly and swiftly with force" but has evolved to have broader meanings, such as leaping, bounding, or skipping.
