Etymology

The term 'overpassing' is derived from the combination of the prefix 'over-' meaning 'above, beyond' and the verb 'pass' which comes from the Latin 'passare', meaning 'to step or move'. This formation reflects the action of moving beyond a specific limit or threshold. The usage of this term has evolved over time, with its applications seen in both literal and figurative senses. In modern English, it captures not only the physical act of surpassing a point but also the cognitive or emotional aspects of breach and overcoming barriers. This dual nature of 'overpassing' highlights its relevance in discussions about achievement, progress, and boundaries.
