For you from WIKI:
Caveat (pronounced /?kæv?æt/), the third-person singular present subjunctive of the Latin cavere, means “warning” (or more literally, “let him beware”, “let her beware” or “let it 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”
