I just finished reading this book about resilience.

That sounds interesting! Was it inspiring?

Root Explanation

Overcomer → It is formed from "over-" (meaning above or beyond) and "come" (from Old English "cuman", meaning to arrive or reach). The word "overcomer" refers to someone who has reached or achieved victory over challenges or obstacles, going beyond them.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who has gone 'above' ('over-') their challenges and 'arrived' ('come') at a place of victory — that's what an overcomer does.
