Consider carefully being cautious (10)
I believe the answer is:
deliberate
I believe this is a double definition.
'consider carefully' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'cautious' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'being' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for deliberate that I've seen before include "Consider - intentional" , "Intentional; think carefully" , "Meant" , "Planned" , "Intended" .)
