Supervise work and witness too much? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oversee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'supervise' is the definition.
(I know that supervise can be written as oversee)

'work and witness too much?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'witness' could be 'see' (synonyms) and 'see' is found in the answer.
'too much?' could be 'over' (over can mean to too great an extent) and 'over' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oversee that I've seen before include "Inspect" , "Administer" , "Supervise, manage" , "Direct" , "Supervise, keep an eye on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
