Morphology
overdevelopment = development (semi-transparent) = over + develop + ment
Formed by adding the productive prefix 'over-' to 'development'; the photographic sense depends on a technical meaning of 'development' which may be unfamiliar to general learners.
Etymology
Overdevelopment comes from the parts over- 'too much' and develop 'to make something appear', like when you develop film in a darkroom. So in photography overdevelopment means the picture was made too much and looks too dark or has too much contrast.
