overhanding
Giving something over
Overhanding is throwing or passing something with an overhand motion—arm raised above the shoulder, moving downward.
The term appears in sports contexts: She kept overhanding the ball when an underhand toss would have been gentler.
In knot-tying, overhanding means making an overhand knot, the simplest knot formed by passing the end of a rope through a loop.
