Etymology of OVERLEAP

The word "overleap" originated as a combination of two words: "over" and "leap".

The word "over" comes from the Old English word "ofer", which means "above" or "beyond". It is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "uber" and can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root "uper", meaning "over" or "above".

The word "leap" comes from the Old English word "hlēapan", which means "to jump" or "to spring". It has Germanic origins and is related to the Old High German word "hlouffan" and the Old Norse word "hlaupa".

When the two words "over" and "leap" combined, they formed the verb "overleap", which means "to jump or leap over something" or "to skip or neglect something".
