supervisev.

Brit.

/ˈsuːpəvʌɪz/,

/ˈsjuːpəvʌɪz/, U.S.

/ˈsupərˌvaɪz/

Forms: 1500s superuyse, 1500s–1600s superuise, 1500s–1600s superuize, 1600s– supervise, 1600s– supervize.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin supervis-, supervidere.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin supervis-, past participial stem of supervidere to observe, see (12th cent. in a British source), to examine, inspect, look at, survey (from late 12th cent. in British sources), to watch over, oversee, superintend (from 13th cent. in British and continental sources) < classical Latin super- super- prefix + vidēre to see (see vision n.). Compare earlier supervide v., supervising n., supervisor n., and supervision n. Compare also earlier survey v. and oversee v. N.E.D. (1917) gives the pronunciation as (sⁱūpəɹvəi·z) /s(j)uːpəˈvaɪz/, which was usual before the early 20th cent. Pronunciation with the main stress on the first syllable is recorded in the first edition of D. Jones Eng. Pronouncing Dict. (1917). Webster's New Internat. Dict. Eng. Lang. (1934) gives this pronunciation as ‘esp[ecially] Brit[ish]’.
