Etymology
The verb combines the prefix supra-, meaning above or over, with veghea, meaning to watch or keep vigil. Veghea comes from Latin vigilare, to stay awake and watch. The compound reads literally as to watch over, and Romanian formed it directly from these native elements rather than borrowing a whole word.
