残高超過の
解説 Definition
銀行口座の残高を超えて引き出した状態。預金額以上にお金を使ってしまっていること。
Overdrawn means that more money has been taken out of a bank account than was actually in it. It is commonly used in banking and personal finance. If an account is overdrawn, the bank may charge extra fees.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
over- は「行きすぎて」、draw は銀行で money を draw「引き出す」と結びつけると覚えやすいです。withdraw の draw と同じなので、「引き出しすぎた結果の状態」が overdrawn。形容詞なので an overdrawn account の形で押さえると定着します。poor や broke のような一般的な金欠ではなく、口座残高がマイナスになった銀行・事務寄りの語感が強い語です。overdraw your account → your account is overdrawn の流れで覚えると使い分けしやすく、名詞 overdraft との対応も見えてきます。
Use over + drawn: drawn here connects to drawing money from a bank account, like withdraw. So overdrawn means you took out too much, and now the account is below zero. Remember the common phrase "an overdrawn account," and connect it with the noun overdraft.

overdrawn の語源・成り立ち Etymology
over-「越えて」+ draw「引く・引き出す」から成る。draw は古英語 dragan に由来し、口座なら「引き出しが限度線を越えた」感覚が overdrawn。withdraw や drag も同じ語根。
Overdrawn is built from over and draw. Draw comes from Old English dragan, meaning "to pull" or "to drag," and it is related to drag and withdraw. In banking, the idea became "drawn out beyond the limit," which led to the modern sense.
