Etymology
The word 'overclouded' combines the prefix 'over-' which signifies excessive or above, with the word 'clouded', the past participle of 'cloud'. The term 'cloud' comes from Old English 'clud', meaning 'hill or rock', which transformed into its current meaning relating to the meteorological phenomenon we associate with the sky. Over time, 'clouded' evolved to describe conditions where clouds obscure visibility. The prefix 'over-' signifies that there is a significant degree of cloud cover, enhancing the original meaning. This formation is typical in English where prefixes are added to existing words to create more specific meanings.
