Crossword Genius

Wander unwisely and get cautioned (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

warned

'cautioned' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'wander unwisely' is the wordplay.
'unwisely' indicates anagramming the letters.
'wander' anagrammed gives 'WARNED'.

'and get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for warned that I've seen before include "Cautioned about Andrew" , "Put on the alert" , "Notified of potential danger" , "Notified in advance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
