Etymology of OVERLIED

The word "overlied" is a combination of two parts: "over" and "lied".

1. "Over": In this context, "over" is a prefix indicating excess, exaggeration, or transcending something. It originates from Old English "ofor" or "ofer", which means "over" or "beyond".

2. "Lied": The word "lied" is derived from German, where it means "song" or "poem". It specifically refers to a type of German song with poetic lyrics.

When combined, "overlied" suggests going beyond or exceeding the contents or limits of a song or poem. However, it's worth mentioning that "overlied" is not a widely recognized or standard English word, so its etymology does not carry the same historical depth as other more established terms.
