To 'be on the lookout for' means to remain alert and watchful for something, often because it may pose a danger or because it is something one is seeking. This phrase is often used in contexts where vigilance and awareness are essential, such as in security, scouting, or even everyday situations where one is trying to avoid missing something important. For example, parents might be on the lookout for signs of illness in their children, or a driver might be on the lookout for pedestrians crossing the street. The term emphasizes a proactive stance towards observation and readiness.
