Did you know that a caveator is someone who enters a warning or caveat?

Really? I had no idea!

Root Explanation

Caveator is formed from "cavea" (meaning cage or hollow) and the suffix "-tor" (meaning one who). The term originally referred to one who is a guardian or protector, often in a legal context, indicating a person who takes care of or oversees something.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'guardian' or 'protector' — 'cavea' suggests a protective space, and '-tor' indicates a person who performs an action.
