One movement holds the whole word: something passes above something else and never touches it. Planes come in low over the heads of a crowd and are gone. A road is lifted and carried across the top of another road, and neither line of traffic has to stop. Even 'flyover country' is that same view from the plane window — land you only ever cross above. The word was made straight out of the verb 'fly over', and passing above is what it kept.

flyover 可以想成一個很單純的動作:從上方越過去,不碰到下面。飛機排成隊,從人群頭頂掠過,大家仰頭看著它走。一條路被架高,從另一條路上方跨過去,兩邊的車都不用停。連 flyover country 也是同一個畫面——那片土地,你只在機窗外看過,從來沒有停下來。這個字是從動詞片語 fly over 直接變成名詞的,所以它保留的就是「經過上方」這件事。

From the word’s history

The source gives the noun as deverbal from 'fly over', so the noun is simply the action turned into a thing.

來源說這個名詞是直接從動詞片語 fly over 變來的。所以它不是先有東西才有動作,而是先有「從上方飛過」這個動作,然後整個動作被裝成一個名詞。
