"Decipher" or "cipher" comes from what Arabic word?
صفر sifr, zero, i.e. the zero digit in the Arabic number system. The use of zero as one of the elementary digits was a key innovation in the Hindu-Arabic number system. Latin cifra was the parent of English cipher (or cypher). The word came to Latin Europe with Hindu-Arabic numbers in the later 12th century. In Europe the meaning was originally numeral zero as a positionholder, then any positional numeral, then numerically encoded message. The last meaning, and decipher, dates from the 1520s in English, 1490s in French, 1470s in Italian.[9] But in English cipher also continued to be used as a word for nought or zero until the 19th century
