Make cryptic

Ross

I believe the answer is:

encode

'make cryptic' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for encode that I've seen before include "Put into cipher" , "Put into secret symbols" , "Encrypt" , "Put into secret writing" , "transform with substitutions?" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Penny Press.
