Today's Word "caveat"

caveat \KAY-vee-at; KAV-ee-; KAH-vee-aht\ (noun) - 1 : (Law) A notice given by an interested party to some officer not to do a certain act until the opposition has a hearing. 2 : A warning or caution; also, a cautionary qualification or explanation to prevent misunderstanding.

"It was this repeated caveat, repeatedly met by Penguin's interruption, that had earned him the name Natty Dredge." -- Nathaniel Mackey, 'Bass Cathedral'

Caveat comes from the Latin caveat, "let him beware," from cavere, "to beware."
