It's pun on or at least obviously derived from the term "supervisor". You
could say super-supervisor?

I'd either write "hypervisor" in italics or use an uppercase H and provide
a short explanation if there's none.

I think it's an invalid translation because it only translates the word "visor"
and monitor is a passive term. A hypervisor just like a supervisor does not
just watch, it acts. When I read "Virtualisierungsmonitor" I think of something
like a console or status display.

VMM is also known to stand for "virtual memory management", so it can be
confusing.
