Rare enough to double-check
übermäßig is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed \yːbɐˌmɛːsɪç\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Excessif.".
übermäßig doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, a straightforward case of a spelling with little room for common typos. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is übermäßig, spelled Ü-B-E-R-M-Ä-S-S-I-G.
