Yes there is a root word... "precavido" in Spanish ;) The correct Catalan word should be one of these: previngut, -uda; previsor, -ra; caut, cauta.

cautious

Corresponds to Castillian "precavido":
precavido -da adj cautious, prudent; yo he sido precavida y me he traído el paraguas I
came prepared, I brought my umbrella

"prudent" is probably better in your (banking) context...
