Known or operating under an assumed name or false identity; also in computing, referring to having multiple names for the same object.
From the noun 'alias' (Latin for 'otherwise'), combined with the past participle suffix '-ed.' Originally used in legal contexts for people using false names, now common in computer science.
Criminals get 'aliased' to hide, but the term got a whole new life in computers—hackers and programmers create aliased variables so the same piece of data can be called different names, which sometimes causes tricky bugs!
