What is the opposite of the verb obfuscate? [closed]

The opposite for veil is unveil but what is the opposite for obfuscate? Is it unobfuscate?


Solution 1:

If we're talking about obfuscated computer code then the antonym used when translating it back to normal is deobfuscate.

None of the "general references" appear to include that specialised use.

Solution 2:

I was going to suggest clarify, but I've learned that obfuscate comes from the Latin obfuscatus meaning to darken, I'm going to suggest illuminate:

: to make clear : elucidate

EDIT: In light of Jay's comment (pun intended), I bring you clarify:

2: to free of confusion needs time to clarify his thoughts

3: to make understandable clarify a subject
