To decrypt is to change secret or coded information back into normal, readable form.
It combines “de-,” meaning “reverse,” with “crypt,” from Greek “kryptos,” meaning “hidden.” So to decrypt is literally to “un-hide” what was concealed.
Decrypting is like solving a puzzle that was designed not to be solved. Every successful decryption proves that no secret code is absolutely unbreakable—only hard enough for now.
