     pr. & vb. n. [7]Obfuscating.]
     1. To darken; to obscure; to becloud.

        [1913 Webster]

              His head, like a smokejack, the funnel unswept, and
              the ideas whirling round and round about in it, all
              obfuscated and darkened over with fuliginous matter.
                                                    --Sterne.
        [1913 Webster]

              Clouds of passion which might obfuscate the
              intellects of meaner females.         --Sir. W.
                                                    Scott.
        [1913 Webster]


   From [8]The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) :

  obfuscated

      Made unclear, used to describe [9]source code
     that has been transformed or written to make it as hard as
     possible to read, usually for fun, as in the [10]Obfuscated C
     [11]Contest.  A [12]japh is a kind of obfuscated [13]Perl program.

     The term is not normally used for code that has been
     transformed for security purposes, e.g. to enforce some kind
     of licencing mechanism.
