Etymology
The term 'overmanufactured' is derived from the combination of the prefix 'over-' meaning excessive or too much, and the word 'manufactured,' which comes from the Latin 'manufactura,' meaning 'to make by hand.' The concept of overmanufacturing aligns with modern concerns about sustainability and resource management, particularly in the 20th and 21st centuries as mass production and consumerism have intensified. Historical shifts towards industrialization brought about increased production capabilities, leading to various industries facing challenges related to excess supply and waste. Over time, the word has gained traction in discussions surrounding environmentalism, advocating for more mindful and sustainable production practices.
