Forms: see overflowing adj. and -ly suffix²; also Old English oferflowenlice.

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.
