Could you please clear this up for me as it’s in "Sure you have. Why, he’s a illionaire several times over!’’?
Does ‘over’ have a sense of ‘throughout’ so as to make the phrase mean ‘up to several times’? Is there any possibility that it suggests ‘more’ so the phrase could have a meaning of ‘more than several times’?
‘Several times over’ suggests multiplication by a large factor. The word ‘times’ is used in multiplication tables as in ‘10 times 5’ is 50. In your sentence
Thank you ever so much for your interpretation and sorry for the missing of ‘m’. But I wonder if you could further explain for me what the function of ‘over’ is in the phrase? Thank you!
