Am a big fan of caves and have visited many as a child and adult. Haven't had the nerve, (beware!) for spelunking outside of a tour, but am a fan. There are many in the limestone hills of Tennessee and Kentucky, about 8 hours from us.
I too, love to find word origins, and use the etymology app frequently. And Latin, yep.
Thanks for the cave breakdown Baldmichael, maybe the wrong word! 🙄
My pleasure and glad to find someone who likes words. I had a quick look at your site and you employ them well in your poetry.
We have some decent caves in the UK and I have been in a few. I have also been a an old slate mine in North Wales with a friend. In it was a deep pool which reminded me of Gollum's lair in The Hobbit.
Never been to UK, but would love a go. We had alot of slate mining in the hills of Western Pennsylvania that we would explore as kids. Natural gas, oil, coal, it's all still in there.

Not me BM, I'm on to the bastards.👍🇦🇺😃
Cave(at); is a notice, warning, or word of caution provided to an individual or entity before they take action.
Yes, and 'caveat' is a part anagram of 'vaccinate'! For those that want to vaccinate beware!
A full phrase is 'inc caveat'. I don't think that caveats are given by the vaccinators. "Oh, by the way, this might harm or kill you."
I know of a cave in southern Illinois that was once a river pirates’ hideout, Cave-in-Rock, so the translation “beware” seems quite appropriate.
How about " caveat" ?
Indeed, as in 'caveat emptor', meaning literally 'beware buyer', but written 'buyer beware'.
