13世纪中叶,“悄悄观察”,来自古法语“ espiier ”,可能来自弗兰克语“ *spehon ”或其他日耳曼语源,源自原始日耳曼语“ *spehon- ”(也是古高地德语“ *spehon ”“监视,侦察,间谍”,德语“ spähen ”“做间谍”,中古荷兰语“ spien ”等的来源)。这些是 Germanic PIE 根词“ *spek- ”(意为“观察”)的存留。
古英语有“ spyrian ”(开辟轨迹,去追求; 询问,调查),“ spyrigend ”(调查员,询问者)。意大利语“ spiare ”、西班牙语“ espiar ”也是日耳曼语借词。
“看到,从远处或隐蔽处发现”是从公元1300年开始使用的。不及物动词义“当间谍,进行监视”始于15世纪中叶。儿童游戏“ I spy ”于1946年被如此称呼。
