Morphology

supervised = supervise (transparent) = supervise + ed

Formed by adding the past-participle/adjectival suffix '-ed' to the common verb 'supervise', so the meaning is directly 'being supervised'.

Etymology

The word supervised comes from the parts super- 'over' and -vise 'to see', the same idea you find in vision or the word 'see'. So, to be supervised is to be watched by someone in charge who looks after you.
