This clue could be a double definition.

'repeat' is the first definition.
(I know that repeat can be written as echo)

'code word' is the second definition.

Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for echo that I've seen before include "Repetition of sound" , "Close imitation" , "Sound heard before" , "A natural sound reflection" , "copy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
