Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'sensory,' deriving from the Latin 'sensus' (meaning perception or feeling), with 'overload,' formed from the Old English prefix 'ofer-' and 'lad' (a load or burden). It emerged in mid-20th-century psychology and engineering literature to describe the state where environmental stimuli exceed an individual's or a system's processing capacity.
