Etymology of OVERWISELY

The word "overwisely" is a combination of two components: "over-" and "wisely".

"Over-" is a prefix derived from Old English and has various meanings such as excess, beyond, excessive, or too much.

The term "wisely" stems from the Old English word "wīslic", which means to act with wisdom, knowledge, or good judgment.

When combining these two elements, "overwisely" is formed, suggesting an excess or exaggeration of acting with wisdom or judgment. However, it is important to note that "overwisely" is not a commonly used word in contemporary English.
