OVERFLOWN Meaning and
Definition
-
The term "overflown" is the past participle of the verb "overflow." It refers to the act or state of filling or exceeding the capacity of a container or space, wherein the contents spill over or extend beyond the allotted boundaries. The emphasis lies on the action of exceeding a limit or boundary.
When something is described as being "overflown," it suggests that it has experienced a situation where it has been flooded, overwhelmed, or immersed with a quantity or volume that surpasses its capacity. This can be both in a literal sense, such as a river or a bathtub overflowing with water, or in a more abstract sense, like a person overflowing with emotions or a schedule overflowing with tasks.
The term "overflown" can also imply a sense of abundance or excess, indicating that something has become abundant to the point of overflowing from its original container. This could apply to situations where an individual's generosity or kindness overflows, or when a garden becomes so lush with plants that they overflow into neighboring areas.
In summary, "overflown" encapsulates the concept of exceeding limits, being flooded or overwhelmed, or experiencing an abundance that extends beyond the confines of a designated space.
