He might not have come up with the term. Let's say you're a supposed "financier" whose real specialty is procuring young girls for ultra-rich clients. You don't want to use the actual word in case someone overhears it or reads it, so you come up with a term like "enigma" that your clients can use for an added layer of security when discussing your services. One of those dumb-shit clients uses that word in a public letter to you because he thinks nobody could possibly decipher it.
