Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: overflowing adj., -ly suffix2.
Etymology: < overflowing adj. + -ly suffix2.The Old English form oferflowenlice shows reduction of the consonant group -ndl-, a common feature of late West Saxon (see A. Campbell Old Eng. Gram. (1959) §477.3). The word apparently became obsolete at the end of the Old English period and was re-formed in the 17th cent.
In great measure or amount, so as to overflow; abundantly, effusively. In early use also: †superfluously (obsolete).
