overstrung
Overstrung primarily refers to a type of string arrangement in a piano, where the strings are placed vertically and overlap each other, leading to improved tonal quality. However, in a broader, figurative context, overstrung can also refer to someone who is excessively tense, nervous, or sensitive. It is often used to describe someone who is stressed out or overly wound up.
