覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
overbought は overworked, overloaded と同じ over-「行きすぎ」の仲間。さらに buy-bought-bought の bought が見えれば、「買われた状態が行きすぎた」と分解できる。相場では単に人気があるという意味ではなく、買いが集中しすぎて、これ以上は上がりにくい・反落しやすいと見られる場面で使う。チャート分析では oversold と対で出やすいので、買われすぎ／売られすぎのセットで覚えると定着しやすい。
See the familiar prefix `over-`, as in `overworked` or `overloaded`, meaning too much. Then notice `bought`, from `buy-bought-bought`, so the word literally looks like "bought too much." Learn it together with `oversold`, because they often appear as a pair in market talk.

overbought の語源・成り立ち Etymology
overbought は over-「過度に」＋ bought（buy の過去分詞）から成る近代英語です。buy は古英語 bycgan、さらにゲルマン系語にさかのぼります。『買いが行きすぎた』が原義なので、相場で『買われすぎた』と納得できます。関連語は overbuy, buyer。
Overbought is a modern English compound of over-, meaning "too much," and bought, the past participle of buy. Buy goes back to Old English bycgan and older Germanic roots. The original idea is simply "bought too much," which later developed into the market sense "bought too heavily." Related words include overbuy and buyer.
