When understanding isn’t enough…just ”over stand”.

Heard it explained once that they “do not stand under the law,” therefore they “overstand” it.

It’s obstinacy mixed with idiocy.

I believe the switch from understand to overstand has to do with feelings of sovereignty and not being “under” someone.

This is what I was trying to describe and it’s just linguistic hullabaloo. The word “understand” has absolutely nothing to do with literally standing under anything/one. It simply means to comprehend. This under/overstand distinction is borne out of ignorance and nothing more.
