   >before vowels crypt-, word-forming element meaning "secret" or "hidden,   
   >not evident or obvious," used in forming English words at least since   
   >1760 (crypto-Calvinianism), from Latinized form of Greek kryptos   
   >"hidden, concealed, secret" (see crypt; the Greek combining form was   
   >krypho-).   
   >In 19c. often of secret religious faith; from 1870s in scientific   
   >words; since c. 1945 typically of hidden political loyalties. Crypto-   
   >fascist is attested from 1937; crypto-communist from 1946. Hence, as   
   >an abstracted noun, crypto "person who conceals a political adherence"   
   >(1946).

   >crypt (n.)   
   >early 15c., cripte, "grotto, cavern," from Latin crypta "vault,   
   >cavern," from Greek krypte "a vault, crypt" (short for krypte kamara   
   >"hidden vault"), fem. of kryptos "hidden," verbal adjective from   
   >kryptein "to hide," which is of uncertain origin. Comparison has been   
   >made to Old Church Slavonic kryjo, kryti "to hide," Lithuanian krauti   
   >"to pile up." Beekes writes that krypto "is formally and semantically   
   >reminiscent of [kalypto]; the verbs may have influenced each other."   
   >For this, see calypto-. But he adds, "However, since there is no good   
   >IE etymology, the word could be Pre-Greek." Meaning "underground   
   >burial vault or chapel in a church" is attested by 1789.   
   >cryptarchy (n.)   
   >"secret government," 1798; see crypto- + -archy.
