Ah, thank you. But would that not be properly
translated as "who guards the guards" or, even
more precisely, "who keeps the keepers" rather
than the common "who watches the watchers" ?

Merriam Webster Unabridged (I have no OED, boo hoo)

   Etymology: Middle English custodie, from Latin custodia
   guarding, keeping, from custod-, custos guardian,
   keeper + -ia; perhaps akin to Greek keuthein to hide
