Word origin

The word 'overturning' originated from the combination of 'over' and 'turn', with the suffix '-ing' added to indicate the continuous action. It has been used in English since the 17th century, primarily in legal and sports contexts. The verb form often signifies the reversal of a decision, while the noun form refers to the act of toppling or overthrowing. The term has evolved to represent both legal and physical actions, reflecting the dynamic nature of change and competition in various fields.
