Etymology of DECIPHERING
The word "deciphering" originated from the combination of two Latin roots - "de" and "cipher".
The Latin root "de" means "off" or "down", expressing a reversal or removal of something.
The term "cipher" derives from the Arabic word "sifr", which means "zero". In Arabic, "sifr" was used in reference to the decimal numbering system introduced by Indian mathematicians, which included the concept of zero. Europeans adopted this numeral system and used "cipher" to refer to the numerical zero.
Over time, the term "cipher" expanded in meaning to represent any coded or secret message. Thus, "deciphering" emerged as the act of decoding or translating a coded message or text into a more understandable form.
