Etymology: "Overrotated" is the past tense and past participle of "overrotate," which means to rotate something too far. The verb is formed from the prefix "over-," meaning excessively or beyond, attached to "rotate," which comes from the Latin "rotare," to turn around a wheel, from "rota," wheel. So the word is a plain compound: a turning motion pushed past its intended limit.
