Origin of the word encode

"Encode" comes from the prefix "en-" (meaning "in" or "to make") and the word "code". "Code" itself has origins in the Latin word "codex," meaning "a book" or "a set of laws." The first use of "encode" dates back to the 1800s, initially referencing the process of converting messages into secret codes. As technology advanced, the meaning broadened to include transforming information into a specific format, like binary code for computers.
