Word Origin From Greek kryptos 'hidden' and graphein 'to write' — a cryptographist is literally a 'hidden-writer,' someone who writes in code. The crypto- part also gives us cryptic, encrypt, and decrypt, while -graph appears in photograph, biography, and telegraph. So it's all about secret writing.
