overleap
Bound clear across
To overleap is to leap over or across something: The horse overleaped the fence.
The word appears more often in figurative contexts—to skip past or bypass: In his ambition, he overleaped the usual steps to promotion.
Shakespeare's Macbeth worries about "vaulting ambition, which overleaps itself"—reaching too far and tumbling past the mark.
