Obfuscate

I came acrosss a new word Obsfuscate while reading Kathy Sierra's Book. Haha there is a note from the author asking the reader to look up the word and email back the author. It is on the page 296. I googled with the keyword "define obfuscate". One of the definition which definitely that I am looking is:

Obfuscated code is source code that is (perhaps intentionally) very hard to read and understand. Some languages are more prone to obfuscation than others. C, C++ and Perl are most often cited as easily obfuscatable languages. Macro preprocessors are often used to create hard to read code by masking the standard language syntax and grammar from the main body of code. The term shrouded code has also been used.
