Morphology

overtired = tired (transparent) = over + tired + tire

The prefix 'over-' clearly indicates an excess, making the meaning 'excessively tired' transparent.

Etymology

Overtired has the prefix over- ('too much') and tired ('needing rest'), similar to words like overwork. So if you have overtired someone, you have made them very tired by giving them too much activity or effort.
