Etymology of OVERTOWER

The word "overtower" is a combination of two separate words: "over" and "tower".

1. "Over" comes from Middle English "over", which is derived from Old English "ofer" meaning "above" or "across". It can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic root "uber" which has a similar meaning.

2. "Tower" comes from Middle English "tour" and Old French "turre", both of which are derived from Latin "turris". The Latin word "turris" meant "tower" or "rooftop". It is believed to have come from an unknown Etruscan source.

When these two words are combined, "over" modifies "tower" to indicate that something is taller, higher, or more prominent than the tower itself.
