Morphology
overstudied = overstudy (transparent) = over + study + ed
Built from the verb 'overstudy' (over- + study) with the participial/adjectival suffix '-ed', yielding 'having studied too much', which is directly predictable.
Etymology
The word overstudied comes from the prefix over- meaning 'too much' and study meaning 'to learn', like in overtired or overwork. So if you are overstudied, you have studied too much and may feel tired or less able to think clearly.
