Root Explanation

Oversoul → It is formed from "over-" (meaning above or beyond) and "soul" (from Old English "sāwol", meaning spirit or essence). The word "oversoul" refers to a higher or universal spirit that transcends individual souls.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'above' ('over-') and relates to the 'spirit' ('soul') — that's why oversoul means a higher spirit that connects all individual spirits.
