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.
