Speak too strongly because of bad taste? (9)

I believe the answer is:

overstate

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

'speak too strongly' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'because of bad taste?' is the wordplay.
'because of' becomes 'over' (eg 'he's upset over it').
'bad' indicates anagramming the letters.
'taste' anagrammed gives 'state'.
'over'+'state'='OVERSTATE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overstate that I've seen before include "Exaggerate, go beyond bounds of truth" , "lay it on thick" , "Exaggerate, make too much of" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
