Etymology

Supraveghere is a noun built from the verb a supraveghea, itself formed from the prefix supra- (over, above, from Latin supra) and veghea (to watch, keep vigil). Veghea descends from Latin vigilare, to stay awake and watch. The word entered Romanian largely through French influence on the modern administrative vocabulary, alongside the older native line from vigilare.
