Etymology of OVERCOMING

The word "overcoming" has its origins in the Old English language. It is derived from the verb "overcome", which in turn comes from the combination of two elements: "over" and "come".

The element "over" is derived from the Germanic word "uber", meaning "above" or "beyond". It conveys a sense of crossing or surpassing something.

The element "come" comes from the Old English word "cuman", which means "to move" or "to approach". It is related to the modern English verb "come", which still carries a similar meaning.

When these two elements are combined, "overcome" refers to the act of surmounting or overpowering something, often an obstacle or difficulty. Over time, the word "overcoming" has evolved to refer to the process or act of triumphing over challenges or difficulties.
