Depășit is the past participle of the verb a depăși, meaning to exceed, overtake, or go beyond. The verb is built from the prefix de- and the root păși, to step, which goes back to Latin passus, a step or pace. So the verb literally means to step past something, and the participle depășit describes what has been left behind, whether a speed limit, a technology, or a person's coping capacity.
