Morphology

oversampling = oversample (transparent) = over + sample + ing

Built from the verb 'oversample' plus '-ing'; in signal processing the components keep their ordinary meanings.

Etymology

The word oversampling comes from the parts over- meaning 'more than' and sample meaning a 'small measurement' or 'piece' used to check something. So oversampling is taking extra measurements more often than needed to make sound or pictures clearer.
