How do I prevent elements with absolute position from overflowing?

I have attached a simple code snippet for a website. When hovering over the underlined words, images are supposed to appear. How can I prevent those images from "jumping out" of their container so that they will always be visible and don't leave the screen?

The images are supposed to appear at the position of the correlating word.

I hope you understand the problem I've described here.

You can try to modify your .gallery-image with top and remove transform too. Your final CSS will be like this

.gallery-image {
   position: absolute;
   display: none;
   max-width: 50vw;
   max-height: 75vh;
   height: auto;
   z-index: 1000;
   top: 100%; /*Here is the main change*/
 }

You can check the sandbox here https://jsfiddle.net/kqoh2Lat/

The final result
