Definition of overcold

1 sense · 1 part of speech · etymology included

adj

  1. Excessively cold.
    “application of over-cold Medicaments”
    “The Medical Journal, alluding to the subject, expresses the opinion that nearly one-half of all cases of Consumption are produced by unnecessary exposure, by breathing the impure air of badly or imperfectly ventilated and crowded public buildings, or by sleeping in overheated or overcold apartments, also badly ventilated. This is no doubt true. It should also have added two more causes in this country — wearing tight corsets and thin shoes.”
