bcc'd
Hidden email recipient
Bcc'd is the past tense and past participle of bcc, meaning to send someone a blind carbon copy of an email.
When you bcc someone, their address is hidden from other recipients—they receive the message but no one else knows they got it.
I bcc'd my lawyer on all correspondence with the contractor.
The term derives from the old practice of using carbon paper to make copies of typed documents.
