Morphology
overseasoned = overseason (semi-transparent) = over + season + ed
The morphological formation is regular, but the sense involves a figurative extension from bodily/culinary excess to excessive ornamentation in language or performance, which may not be fully predictable to all learners.
Etymology
Overseasoned can also be used for speech or style; a helpful way to remember it is to think of season as 'to add flavor' and over- as 'too much', so it means there are 'too many' extra details or decorations that make the writing or performance feel heavy.
