overcool

/ˌoʊvɚkˈul/ adj

Excessively cool; chilly.

Word Origin Overcool is a straightforward compound: over- from Old English 'ofer' meaning 'excessively,' and cool from Old English 'cōl.' It's the idea of cooling something too much. The over- prefix appears in many words like overdo, overwork, and overcome, while cool connects to cold and chill via the same Germanic root.
