The term ‘oversaw‘ is the past tense of the verb ‘oversee,‘ which comes from the Middle English ‘overseen,‘ meaning to supervise or watch over. The prefix ‘over-‘ indicates a sense of being above or across, while ‘see‘ derives from the Old English ‘seon,‘ meaning to perceive with the eyes.
‘Review‘ stems from the Old French ‘rever,‘ which means to look back at. It entered English in the late 14th century, combining the prefix ‘re-‘ meaning again, and the verb ‘view,‘ which comes from the Latin ‘videre,‘ also meaning to see. Thus, ‘review‘ conveys the act of inspecting, assessing, or examining something again.
When combined, ‘oversaw review‘ suggests the act of supervising or managing an assessment or inspection process.
