Caveat, the third-person singular present subjunctive of the Latin cavere, means "warning" (or more literally, "let him beware"); it can be shorthand for Latin phrases such as:
Caveat lector, "let the reader beware" Caveat emptor, "let the buyer beware" Caveat venditor, "let the seller beware" Caveat bettor, "let the bettor beware"
