Something that is not generally known to the public. An operation in which it is imperative for the protection of the operators and public not to know the nature of the activity. Old movies referred to the secrecy of the Secret agents by clothing them in long coats to cover their firearms and identities and daggers to denote the hidden knives the people kept under their arms.

Very secretive, cunning. An undercover operation.
Term comes from the phrase where they carry a dagger which is covered by the clothes they were wearing and making a surprise attack on the enemy.
