Surveillance. This word has false-friends in Romance languages because of its Latin root. In English, it specifically means the close observation of a person or organization under suspicion of wrongdoing; this makes the surveillee unsafe. In some Romance languages on the other hand (for instance in French), the false-friend of &ldquo;surveillance&rdquo; is used more widely; it may describe the benevolent watch of a shepherd over his sheep or of a teacher over her students.
