Argot is a slang word that means a secret language. In English, the word argot comes from the French argot, which in turn comes from the Latin argentum, meaning silver. The term argot is sometimes used to refer to a secret language that is used in a particular community, but is not understood by outsiders. Argot is often used by people in the entertainment industry, such as musicians, to describe their special language.
