The Chinese word 过度 (guòdù) is composed of two characters: 过 (guò) and 度 (dù). The character 过 originally meant "to cross over" or "to go beyond", and it is often used in the sense of "excessive" or "too much". The character 度 originally meant "a measure" or "a standard", and it is often used in the sense of "degree" or "extent". When these two characters are combined, they form the word 过度, which literally means "to exceed the measure" or "to go beyond the limit". In modern Chinese, 过度 is used to describe something that is excessive or too much, such as 过度劳累 (guòdù láolèi, "overwork") or 过度消费 (guòdù xiāofèi, "overconsumption").
