Definitions

1. Leapt or cleared an obstacle by jumping over it
2. Moved across a barrier by springing from one side to the other
3. Surpassed or skipped over something by making a jump

Etymology: "Overjumped" is the past tense and past participle of "overjump," a verb formed by joining the prefix "over-" to "jump." The prefix carries its familiar sense of passing across or beyond something, so the combined word means to leap across an obstacle. Both parts are plain English, which makes the word a straightforward compound rather than a borrowing from another language.

Synonyms: leapt over, vaulted
