It's one of those douchey terms used by Yorkies, Rastas, Moors (no disrespect to the latter two), and other so-called conscious people in an attempt to sound smart, smooth, above it all, etc. All it is is putting a cute spin on "understand," that's it. This word is a plague and the user can't hope to possibly be taken seriously.
And to correct another entry on this word, no, the Five Percenters do not use it, as any 5% worth his salt knows better.
Once again, it's cute and quite slick as slang, but only a fool would have "overstand" in the repertoire for serious discussion of anything.
