Etymology
The term 'overtimed' is derived from the combination of 'overtime' and the past participle suffix '-ed'. 'Overtime' itself comes from the combination of 'over' indicating excess and 'time', referring to hours worked beyond the normal schedule. The concept of overtime has existed as long as structured labor has; however, legal definitions and compensation practices began to take shape in the early 20th century, particularly in industrialized nations. With the rise of labor unions, workers fought for fair compensation for overtime hours, leading to stronger regulations governing work hours and payment. Thus, overtimed has evolved to reflect not only the hours worked but also the implications of those excess hours on an employee's well-being and job satisfaction.
