Hi, David.
Probably it refers to the adjective, but it is also a surname:
"Im selling my **Jimmy Cautus** wooden poster with the jewl in it on ebay".
"i tried to see what you had on ebay but it is gone now. what was your picture of? do you have any info on it? I think I have the same one. it is about 3 ft by 2ft with a diamond in the wizards hand. let me know if you have any info on it or the artist. I can't find anything anywhere! thanks".
"I am trying to find out more about this picture".
"**Who is Jimmy Cautus**, and what is his connection to Tolkien?".
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
As an adjective, here are its meanings:
- cautious, wary
- prudent, wise
- crafty, artful, cunning
- clever, astute
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
Cheers!
