/ˌəʊvəˈstɒk//ˌəʊvərˈstɑːk/

The word "overstock" originates from the 14th century Old English words "o'er-stok" or "over-stok", which literally means "overfill" or "overflow". This term was initially used to describe a stockpile or a store of goods that exceeded what was necessary or expected. In the 16th century, the term evolved to "overstock" and began to be used in the context of commerce, referring to the situation where a merchant or retailer has too many goods in their inventory. This could be due to miscalculations, overestimates of demand, or unexpected changes in market conditions. Today, "overstock" is commonly used in business and economics to describe a situation where an enterprise has an excessive amount of inventory, which can lead to financial losses, waste, and reduced profitability.
