oversight
含义: An unintentional failure to notice or do something; alternatively, the supervision and monitoring of a process, organisation, or activity.
Oversight is a notable contronym — it has two opposite meanings. In one sense, it means a mistake caused by failing to notice something ('it was an oversight'). In the other, it means watchful supervision ('parliamentary oversight of the intelligence services'). Context usually makes the meaning clear. Common collocations include 'an unfortunate oversight,' 'regulatory oversight,' and 'independent oversight.'
