Live somewhere in Herts, but with caution (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beware

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'herts but with caution' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'live somewhere' is the wordplay.
'live' becomes 'be' (synonyms).
'somewhere' becomes 'ware' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'be'+'ware'='BEWARE'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beware that I've seen before include "Archaic warning to be careful, danger ahead" , "Archaic warning to watch out, danger ahead" , "Wee bra (anag)" , "Be cautious about" , "Archaic injunction to be careful, look out" .)
