Anonymise is a term typically used in the context of data and refers to the process of removing or masking personal identifying information to protect the privacy of individuals. Some synonyms for anonymise include de-identify, obscure, mask, cloak, and hide. These terms have similar meanings but could be used in slightly different contexts. De-identify is often used in healthcare settings to protect patient information while still allowing data to be used for research. Mask and cloak could be used in a more general sense to describe the act of hiding personal information. Whatever term is used, the goal is ultimately to prevent any identifying information from being linked back to an individual.
