Origin

Late 15th century (in the sense 'survey, peruse'): from medieval Latin supervis- 'surveyed, supervised', from supervidere, from super- 'over' + videre 'to see'.

  • advice from Middle English:

    Advice is from Old French avis, based on Latin videre ‘to see’. The original sense was ‘a way of looking at something’, ‘a judgement’, which led later to ‘an opinion given’. Supervise (Late Middle English) ‘to over see’ and words at vision are from the same root.
