Etymonline
Word Origin & History
surveillance
1802, from Fr. surveillance "oversight, supervision, a watch," noun of action from surveiller "oversee, watch," from sur- "over" + veiller "to watch," from L. vigilare, from vigil "watchful" (see vigil). Seemingly a word of the Terror in France. A hideous back-formation, surveille
EXPAND(v.), was coined in 1960 in U.S. government jargon. Pray that it dies.
