Etymology of OVERSTRESS

The word "overstress" is a combination of the prefix "over-" meaning "excessive" or "beyond", and the verb "stress" which originated from the Latin word "stringere" meaning "to draw tight" or "to tighten". The word "stress" has been used in English since the mid-14th century to refer to physical or mental pressure or strain. The prefix "over-" emphasizes the idea of exceeding or going beyond a normal or acceptable level of stress, hence forming the word "overstress" to describe an excessive amount of stress or strain.
