Tips: Caveat is derived from the Latin word for “let him or her beware,” from cavere, “to heed.” Think, "warning." Caveat can be a more sophisticated way of saying "warning" or "caution." Caveat is also used to protect a person's statement. (i.e: "I will provide you with an answer, with one caveat: I am not an expert in this subject.")
