Etymology
1. 1297, "bail, guarantee, pledge," from O.Fr., "security, surety," from L.
cautionem (nom.
cautio), from
cautus pp. of
cavere "to be on one's guard" (see caveat). The Latin sense re-emerged in Eng. 16c.-17c. The verb sense of "to warn" is from 1641;
cautious is from 1640.
2. Recorded since 1297 as Middle English caucioun (“bail, guarantee, pledge”), from Old French caution (“security, surety”), itself from Latin cautiō, from cautus, past participle of caveō, cavēre (“be on one's guard”). See: Latin '
cautiō'.
