overcautious

You are right in questioning us, for under such situations a soldier had best be overcautious than too credulous.

We were really overcautious and made wide detours round houses and took great pains not to meet any one on the road.

A hysteric fear of possible loss, an unreasonable distrust of banks and bankers, keeps the overcautious away from the market.

In times like these you will understand I feel great need to be cautious—overcautious perhaps you may deem it.
