Morphology
overconfidence = confidence (transparent) = over + confidence
The word is formed by the productive prefix 'over-' meaning 'excessive' added to the noun 'confidence', yielding 'excessive confidence', which is directly inferable.
Etymology
Overconfidence is made of over- meaning 'too much' and confidence, which comes from a root meaning 'trust' and is like the word confide. So overconfidence is like having 'too much trust' in yourself, which helps explain why people take risks or miss problems.
