Etymology
The term 'overnighted' derives from the combination of 'overnight', which itself is a compound of 'over' meaning above or beyond, and 'night', referring to the period of darkness during each twenty-four hours. 'Overnight' has been used since at least the late 19th century in English, initially to describe something that happens during the nighttime or does not extend beyond the night. Over time, the usage evolved to include the context of travel or shipping, implying that an object or person is being sent or staying somewhere overnight. The past tense 'overnighted' emerged to describe the completion of this action and has been adopted into both colloquial and formal English, especially in the context of business and logistics.
