Surface Forms

oversexed positive

Morphology

oversexed = sexed (transparent) = over + sex + ed

Formed by the productive prefix 'over-' (excessive) applied to 'sexed' (having sexual characteristics), so the meaning 'excessively sexual' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Oversexed combines over- meaning 'too much' (as in overcook or overwork) and sex, so it gives the image of someone who is 'too sexual' or too focused on sex. That's why it describes a person who shows or is thought to have excessive sexual desire or who seems overly sexual.
