code
Rules written for machines
Code suggests a medium of communication that is at least one step removed from ordinary language, such as the instructions a computer uses to execute a program.
When you code, you convert some message or information into a code.
The related verb codify is helpful for remembering some other meanings of code, such as a systematic body of laws.
A code may also be a short sequence of letters that has a particular function, like a coupon code.
