† ouerwhereadv.

Forms: chiefly northern and north midlands Middle English aurequare, Middle English aurequere, Middle English awrequare, Middle English awrewhare, Middle English orquar, Middle English ouerwhare, Middle English ouerwher, Middle English ouerwhere, Middle English ourquar, Middle English ourquare, Middle English ourwar, Middle English ourwhar, Middle English ourwhare, Middle English owerwhare, Middle English owrqwher; Scottish pre-1700 ourquhare. N.E.D. (1903) also records a form Middle English owerwhere.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: owhere adv., where adv., conj., and n.

Etymology: < owhere adv. (see forms at that entry) + where adv., conj., and n.The formation is thus pleonastic, arising from the complete obscuration of the second element of owhere ; compare nowhere-where n. at nowhere adv., n., pron., and adj. Compounds. It is possible that our- or ouer- was later associated with over , and so with such combinations as overall , overall-where , whence perhaps sense 2.
