Morphology

overgod = god (transparent) = over + god

The compound is a transparent metaphorical extension of 'over' + 'god' to denote someone or something supremely dominant.

Etymology

Overgod can also describe a person or group seen as completely above others; it joins over ('above') and god, so it means someone or something that rules or controls a whole area.
