Pronunciation: sin krip shun

Sentence: Agnes & Leroy worked together. Agnes & Leroy fell in love. But falling in love at work is not always a good idea. Especially since Agnes already had a husband and Leroy already had a wife. So they developed a secret code to convey their feelings. It was a sincryption to cover those times in the broom closet and supply room where they met and expressed their amour. They overlooked the fact that the word sincryption contained another word..CRYPT...and that is where they spent eternity together once the spouses found out...and spouses always do!

Etymology: Sin (an act that is regarded by theologians as a transgression of God's will;violent and excited activity)& Encryption (the activity of converting from plain text into code)
