Morphology

overworn = worn (semi-transparent) = over + worn

The prefix 'over-' suggests excess, but the specific meaning of extreme exhaustion is not immediately obvious from 'worn'.

Etymology

Overworn comes from the parts over- ('too much') and worn (from 'wear', 'to use until tired'). Think of a coat worn so long it looks tired—used the same way for people, overworn means 'extremely tired' after too much work or travel.
