Morphology

overexuberant = exuberant (transparent) = over + exuberant

The productive intensifying prefix 'over-' simply means 'excessively' added to 'exuberant', yielding the straightforward meaning 'excessively exuberant'.

Etymology

Overexuberant combines over- 'too much' and exuberant 'full of energy or abundance', so it paints a picture of something or someone so lively or overflowing that it becomes too much.
