overhang
Roof's extended edge
An overhang is a part that extends or juts out beyond what's below it: the overhang of the roof, a rocky overhang sheltered us from the rain.
In business and finance, an overhang refers to an excess or surplus that weighs on a market—unsold inventory, pending stock options, or accumulated debt that depresses prices or limits future action.
To overhang is to extend beyond or loom over: Branches overhang the path.
