decodings
Translated secret messages
Decodings are acts of converting encoded information back into understandable form.
A cryptographer performs decodings of intercepted messages.
A literary critic offers decodings of symbolic texts.
The word appears in technical and interpretive contexts: Multiple decodings of the signal revealed the source, Her decodings of his behavior proved accurate.
