Does the word over dilute (or overdilute) exist?
I make an example: in homeopathy the active substance is over dilute or not present at all.
Does the sentence make sense?
Thank you in advance!
I'd say "overdilute" is a word formed in the regular way with a prefix. It's just not the word you need. An overdilute substance would be too dilute to be beneficial.

No, overdilute does not exist in the dictionary. However, when you pour too much milk into the coffee, the taste of the coffee will be overly diluted.
