基本释义

supervise: If you supervise an activity or a person, you make sure that the activity is done correctly or that the person is doing a task or behaving correctly.

v. 监督；管理

追根溯源

单词supervise里的词根vis来自拉丁语visus，表示“看”，所以，在英语里包含vis的单词，多与此相关。例如：

vision /ˈvɪʒn/ n. 视力，美景

visual /ˈvɪʒuəl/ adj. 视觉的，视力的

revise /rɪˈvaɪz/ v. 修订，校订

invisible /ɪnˈvɪzəbl/ adj. 看不见的，无形的

前缀super表示“上面”，所以，super（上面）+vis（看）+e（构词后缀）=在上面看→监督。
