overshaded
Blocked from light
Overshaded means cast into shadow by something above or larger—literally or figuratively.
A towering oak overshades the garden beneath it.
A brilliant sibling might overshade the quieter one.
The word is uncommon, with *overshadowed* preferred in most contexts, but overshaded emphasizes the casting of actual shade rather than metaphorical eclipse.
