what is the meaning of the code word
Code word (figure of speech) A code word is a word or a phrase designed to convey a predetermined meaning to a receptive audience, while remaining inconspicuous to the uninitiated. For example, a public address system may be used to make an announcement asking for Inspector Sands to attend a particular area, which staff will recognise as a code word for an fire or bomb threat, and the general public will ignore.
