Etymology of OVERGIVE

"Overgive" appears to be a compound word formed by combining the prefix "over-" and the verb "give".

The prefix "over-" in English usually means "above", "beyond", or "excessive". It can convey the idea of excess or exaggeration in relation to the base word it is attached to.

The verb "give" comes from the Old English word "giefan", which has Germanic origins. It has been a part of the English language for over a thousand years, and its meaning has remained relatively unchanged over time.

By combining the prefix "over-" with the verb "give", the resulting word "overgive" seems to express the idea of exceeding or going beyond what is expected or required in terms of giving or generosity. However, it is worth noting that "overgive" is a relatively uncommon word and is not widely used in everyday English.
