ciphered
Converted to code
Ciphered means converted into code or secret writing.
A ciphered message has been encrypted to conceal its meaning from unauthorized readers.
The word can also mean calculated or computed, from an older sense of cipher as working with numbers: She ciphered the sum in her head.
This mathematical sense is now rare outside regional or historical contexts.
