Etymology
The term 'overstaying' is derived from the prefix 'over-', meaning 'beyond' or 'excessive', combined with the word 'stay', which originates from Old English 'stēgian', meaning 'to remain or continue in place'. The usage of 'overstay' became more common in the 20th century as international travel increased and legal frameworks regarding travel visas became more established. The implications of overstaying became more significant with the rise of immigration laws and border control policies, emphasizing the importance of adhering to specified regulations regarding duration of stay in foreign countries.
