History

Etymology

PIE word *upér The adverb is derived from over- (prefix meaning ‘above, higher’) + morrow, probably a calque of German übermorgen (adverb) (compare also Übermorgen (noun)), from Middle High German übermorgen, from Old High German ubar morgan, ubar morgana, from obar, ubar (“above”) + morgan, morgana (“morning”). The noun and adjective are derived from the adverb. Cognates * Danish overmorgen * Dutch overmorgen * Middle Low German övermorgen
