Turned and twisted overmuch (9)

I believe the answer is:

redundant

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'overmuch' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'turned and twisted' is the wordplay.
'twisted' is an anagram indicator.
'turned'+'and'='turnedand'
'turnedand' is an anagram of 'REDUNDANT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for redundant that I've seen before include "out of a job" , "Superfluous to requirements" , "No longer required, unnecessary" , "no longer wanted" , "No longer necessary" .)
