Word origin

The word 'overcastly' is derived from the combination of 'overcast' and the adverbial suffix '-ly'. 'Overcast' originated from Middle English 'overcasten', which meant 'to overthrow, destroy'. Over time, the meaning shifted to refer to the sky being covered with clouds. The addition of the suffix '-ly' turns it into an adverb, describing the manner in which something is done.
