aliased
Going by another
Aliased describes something known by an alternative name, or in computing, a shortcut or reference that points to something else.
A spy operating under a false identity is aliased.
In programming, aliased data means two references point to the same memory location.
In digital graphics, aliased edges appear jagged or stair-stepped—the visual artifact that anti-aliasing corrects.
