The American Heritage Dictionary cites the following as the roots to the word 'secret'

[First used as a noun in 1378 and an adjective in 1399 Middle English, from Old French, from Latin sēcrētus, from past participle of sēcernere, to set aside : sē-, apart; see s(w)e- in Indo-European roots + cernere, to separate; see krei- in Indo-European roots.]
